Biochem Physiol Actions: PTPRN2 (Protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, N polypeptide 2) is a transmembrane protein belonging to the PTP (Protein tyrosine phosphatase) family. It consists of a hydrophobic region, one N-glycosylation site, and a motif for the adhesive recognition. It is predominantly expressed in the endocrine and neuronal cells. It is involved in the cell exocytosis process. Immature PTPRN2 interacts with a scaffold protein TRAF2 (TNF receptor-associated factor 2) via different kinase cascades. PTPRN2 has been suggested as a potential biomarker in breast cancer since it promotes apoptosis and restricts tumor formation. It has also been reported that PTPRN2 is a major autoantigen in the insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
