Primary Identifier | MGI:97813 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 19267 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity and protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Involved in negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway and regulation of mast cell activation. Acts upstream of or within cell surface receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in midbrain and superior colliculus. Orthologous to human PTPRE (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type E). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit early-onset peripheral myelination defects, increased activity of voltage-gated potassium channels in Schwann cells, and increased trabecular bone mass due to cell-specific defects in osteoclast function in young females.
