ncRNA Symbol: | PTPRG | Full Name: | protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type G | Category: | mRNA | Synonyms: | HPTPG|PTPG|R-PTP-GAMMA|RPTPG | Chromosome: | chr3 | Strand: | + | Coordinate: | Start Site(bp): | 61561569 | End Site(bp): | 62297613 | | Gene Summary: | 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 intracytoplasmic catalytic domains, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. The extracellular region of this PTP contains a carbonic anhydrase-like (CAH) domain, which is also found in the extracellular region of PTPRBETA/ZETA. This gene is located in a chromosomal region that is frequently deleted in renal cell carcinoma and lung carcinoma, thus is thought to be a candidate tumor suppressor gene.
