Background
protein tyrosine phosphatase type IVA, member 2(PTP4A2) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a small class of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are cell signaling molecules that play regulatory roles in a variety of cellular processes. PTPs in this class contain a protein tyrosine phosphatase catalytic domain and a characteristic C-terminal prenylation motif. This PTP has been shown to primarily associate with plasmic and endosomal membrane through its C-terminal prenylation. This PTP was found to interact with the beta-subunit of Rab geranylgeranyltransferase II (beta GGT II), and thus may function as a regulator of GGT II activity. Overexpression of this gene in mammalian cells conferred a transformed phenotype, which suggested its role in tumorigenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. Related pseudogenes exist on chromosomes 11, 12 and 17. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010],
Function
catalytic activity:Protein tyrosine phosphate + H(2)O = protein tyrosine + phosphate.,enzyme regulation:Inhibited by sodium orthovanadate and pentamidine.,function:Protein tyrosine phosphatase which stimulates progression from G1 into S phase during mitosis. Promotes tumors. Inhibits geranylgeranyl transferase type II activity by blocking the association between RABGGTA and RABGGTB.,miscellaneous:A processed pseudogene with 96% sequence identity was found in the BRCA1 (113705) region of 17q21.,PTM:Farnesylated. Farnesylation is required for membrane targeting and for interaction with RABGGTB. Unfarnesylated forms are redirected to the nucleus and cytosol.,similarity:Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family.,similarity:Contains 1 tyrosine-protein phosphatase domain.,subunit:In contrast to PTP4A1 and PTP4A3, does not interact with tubulin. Interacts with RABGGTB.,tissue specifici
