Phosphatase Subfamily PTPRB

Phosphatase Classification: Fold CC1: Superfamily CC1: Family PTP: Subfamily PTPRB

PTPRC (CD45) is a vertebrate-specific receptor PTP involved in immune signaling.

Evolution

PTPRB subfamily is found across metazoan. It has multiple copies per genomes in bilateral.

Domain Structure

PTPRC has twin intracellular PTP phosphatase domains, and extracellular FN3 domains, plus a CD45-specific and a PTP-N-terminal domain found specifically in PTPRC, as annotated by InterPro. CD45 is extensively alternatively spliced.

Functions

CD45 modulates immune function [1]. It is selectively expressed on lymphocytes and dephosphorylates and activates the src family tyrosine kinases lck, fyn and lyn in B and T cells.
