PTPRB(protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type B),癌症关联基因,基因ID:5787,该基因编码的蛋白是蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶(PTP)家族的成员。众所周知,PTP是调节多种细胞过程的信号分子,包括细胞生长、分化、有丝分裂周期和致癌转化。该PTP包含一个胞外结构域、一个跨膜段和一个胞质内催化结构域,因此属于受体型PTP。该PTP的细胞外区由多个纤维连接蛋白Ⅲ型重复序列组成,该重复序列与神经受体和细胞粘附分子(如contactin和tenasin c)相互作用。该蛋白也与钠通道相互作用,因此可以通过改变酪氨酸磷酸化状态来调节钠通道。这种蛋白的相互作用伙伴的功能与PTP在细胞粘附、神经突生长和神经元分化中的作用有关。已发现该基因编码不同亚型的替代转录变体。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 contains an extracellular domain, a single transmembrane segment and one intracytoplasmic catalytic domain, thus belongs to receptor type PTP. The extracellular region of this PTP is composed of multiple fibronectin type_III repeats, which was shown to interact with neuronal receptor and cell adhesion molecules, such 。
