PTPu (mu) (protein tyrosinephosphatase mu, also known as RPTPu),catalytic domain, (a.a. 896-1175), (GenBankAccession No. NM_001105244) withN-terminal GST tag, MW=56.2 kDa,expressed in an E. coli expression system.
Specific activity: 60 U/ug
Background
PTPRM is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase family and can participate in a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. PTPRM has been shown to mediate cell-cell aggregation through the interaction with another molecule of PTPRM on an adjacent cell. PTPRM can interact with scaffolding protein RACK1/GNB2L1 and this interaction may be necessary for downstream signaling in response to cell-cell adhesion. PTPRM has been shown to be expressed in human pulmonary vascular endothelia where it directly binds to VE-cadherin and regulates both the tyrosine phosphorylation state of VE-cadherin and barrier integrity.
