PTPRK(protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type K),癌症关联基因,基因ID:5796,该基因编码的蛋白是蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶(PTP)家族的一员众所周知,PTPs是调节细胞生长、分化、有丝分裂周期和癌基因转化等多种细胞过程的信号分子该ptp具有胞外区、单个跨膜区和两个串联催化结构域,因此代表一种受体型ptp。细胞外区域包含一个meprin-a5抗原ptp mu(mam)结构域、一个ig样结构域和四个纤维粘连蛋白iii型重复序列。ptp介导了细胞间的亲和力相互作用,可能是通过与粘附连接处的β-和γ连环蛋白的相互作用。TGF-β1可刺激该基因的表达,这可能对抑制角质形成细胞的增殖具有重要意义[由RefSeq提供,2008年7月]The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. This PTP possesses an extracellular region, a single transmembrane region, and two tandem catalytic domains, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. The extracellular region contains a meprin-A5 antigen-PTP mu (MAM) domain, an Ig-like domain and four fibronectin type III-like repeats. This PTP was shown to mediate homophilic intercellular 。
