TPTEP1 (psiTPTE22) is a pseudogene copy of the tensin phosphatase, TPTE. It is fragment of TPTE, from AA 51-~140. It is expressed under the control of an HERV endogenous retrovirus element. It is expressed at ~2 RPKM in a wide variety of tissues (GTEx), and is consistently downregulated in a variety of cancers (TCGA). Bisulfite sequencing indicated that it is silenced in cancers by DNA methylation [1]. A 15 kD ORF was detected by peptide antibodies, but no function is known.
