Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for PTP4A2(NM_080391.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a small class of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are cell signaling molecules that play regulatory roles in a variety of cellular processes. PTPs in this class contain a protein tyrosine phosphatase catalytic domain and a characteristic C-terminal prenylation motif. This PTP has been shown to primarily associate with plasmic and endosomal membrane through its C-terminal prenylation. This PTP was found to interact with the beta-subunit of Rab geranylgeranyltransferase II (beta GGT II), and thus may function as a regulator of GGT II activity. Overexpression of this gene in mammalian cells conferred a transformed phenotype, which suggested its role in tumorigenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode two distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq].
Gene References into function
- PRL phosphatases increase cell proliferation by stimulating progression from G1 into S phase
- PRL-2 mRNA expression was not significantly higher in malignant compared to benign breast tissue.
- PRL-2 was expressed heavily in almost every tissue and cell type examined. Widespread expression of PRL-2 in multiple organ systems suggests an important functional role for these enzymes in normal tissue homeostasis.
- Colonic adenocarcinoma cells have the ability to produce PTP4A1, PTP4a2, and PTP4A3, which may relate to the lymph node metastasis of colonic adenocarcinoma.
