Preferred term

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Non-Receptor Type 22  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • A subtype of non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases that is characterized by the presence of an N-terminal catalytic domain and a C-terminal PROLINE-rich domain. The phosphatase subtype is predominantly expressed in LYMPHOCYTES and plays a key role in the inhibition of downstream T-LYMPHOCYTE activation. Polymorphisms in the gene that encodes this phosphatase subtype are associated with a variety of AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. An alternatively spliced variant of tyrosine protein phosphatase, non-receptor type 22. An alternatively spliced variant of tyrosine protein phosphatase, non-receptor type 22.
