PTP4A1 protein tyrosine phosphatase 4A1
Gene ID: 7803, updated on 17-Aug-2024Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HH72; PRL1; PRL-1; PTPCAAX1; PTP(CAAX1)
Summary
This gene encodes a member of a small class of prenylated protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), which contain a PTP domain and a characteristic C-terminal prenylation motif. The encoded protein is a cell signaling molecule that plays regulatory roles in a variety of cellular processes, including cell proliferation and migration. The protein may also be involved in cancer development and metastasis. This tyrosine phosphatase is a nuclear protein, but may associate with plasma membrane by means of its prenylation motif. Pseudogenes related to this gene are located on chromosomes 1, 2, 5, 7, 11 and X. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
