Primary Identifier | MGI:97807 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 19259 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within protein dephosphorylation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including perikaryon; proximal dendrite; and synaptic vesicle. Predicted to be active in cell junction; cytosol; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; retina; and submandibular gland. Orthologous to human PTPN5 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal brain development. [provided by MGI curators] |
