Summary

PTPRE (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type E, HGNC:9669) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q26.2, encoding Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase epsilon (P23469). Isoform 1 plays a critical role in signaling transduction pathways and phosphoprotein network topology in red blood cells.

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. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been reported, at least two of which encode a receptor-type PTP that possesses a short extracellular domain, a single transmembrane region, and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains; another one encodes a PTP that contains a distinct hydrophilic N-terminus, and thus represents a nonreceptor-type isoform of this PTP. Studies of the similar gene in mice suggested the regulatory roles of this PTP in RAS related signal transduction pathways, cytokine-induced SATA signaling, as well as the activation of voltage-gated K+ channels.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Isoform 1 plays a critical role in signaling transduction pathways and phosphoprotein network topology in red blood cells. May play a role in osteoclast formation and function. Isoform 2 acts as a negative regulator of insulin receptor (IR) signaling in skeletal muscle. Regulates insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), phosphorylation of protein kinase B and glycogen synthase kinase-3 and insulin induced stimulation of glucose uptake. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 act as a negative regulator of FceRI-mediated signal transduction leading to cytokine production and degranulation, most likely by acting at the level of SYK to affect downstream events such as phosphorylation of SLP76 and LAT and mobilization of Ca(2+).

Subunit / interactions. Monomer. Isoform 2: Homodimer. Can form oligomers. Dimerization is increased by oxidative stress and decreased by EGFR. Isoform 2 interacts with GRB2.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane Cytoplasm Cytoplasm.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in giant cell tumor (osteoclastoma rich in multinucleated osteoclastic cells).

Post-translational modifications. A catalytically active cytoplasmic form (p65) is produced by proteolytic cleavage of either isoform 1, isoform 2 or isoform 3. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by tyrosine kinase Neu. Isoform 1 is glycosylated.

Domain organisation. The tyrosine-protein phosphatase 2 domain (D2) mediates dimerization. The extreme N- and C- termini of the D2 domain act to inhibit dimerization and removal of these sequences increases dimerization and inhibits enzyme activity.

Induction. Up-regulated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in HL-60 cells.

Miscellaneous. Produced by alternative promoter usage. Produced by alternative promoter usage. Produced by alternative initiation at Met-86 of isoform 1.

Similarity. Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Receptor class 4 subfamily.
