Gene:
protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 22 (lymphoid)
Gene ID:
201013
Symbol:
PTPN22
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a protein tyrosine phosphatase which is expressed primarily in lymphoid tissues. This enzyme associates with the molecular adapter protein CBL and may be involved in regulating CBL function in the T-cell receptor signaling pathway. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
