Phosphatase Classification: Fold CC1:Superfamily CC1: Family PTP: Subfamily PTPN3


Evolution

Domain

PTPN3 subfamily has a domain combination of FERM domain, PEST sequence, PDZ domain and phosphatase domain [1].

Functions

PTPN4 (PTPMEG)

PTPN4/PTPMEG has been shown to be specifically expressed in testis [2]. However, RNA-seq data in GTEx shows it is most abundantly expressed in cerebellum and the expression level in testis is close to the average.

PTPN4 dephosphorylates T cell receptor (TCR) at ITAM motifs, a conserved signaling motif and are present in one or more copies in the cytoplasmic tails of the CD3 γ, δ, ε and TCR ζ subunits [3].

PTPN4/PTPMEG interacts with but does not directly phosphorylates glutamate receptor delta 2 and epsilon subunits [4].

PTPN4/PTPMEG primarily locates in the membrane and cytoskeleton [5, 6].
