Rabbit Anti-LAR/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
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. This PTP possesses an extracellular region, a single transmembrane region, and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. The extracellular region contains three Ig-like domains, and nine non-Ig like domains similar to that of neural-cell adhesion molecule. This PTP was shown to function in the regulation of epithelial cell-cell contacts at adherents junctions, as well as in the control of beta-catenin signaling. An increased expression level of this protein was found in the insulin-responsive tissue of obese, insulin-resistant individuals, and may contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene, which encode distinct proteins, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
Possible cell adhesion receptor. It possesses an intrinsic protein tyrosine phosphatase activity.
The first PTPase domain has enzymatic activity, while the second one seems to affect the substrate specificity of the first one.
Subunit:
Interacts with GRIP1. Interacts with PPFIA1, PPFIA2 and PPFIA3. Interacts with INSR.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Receptor class 2A subfamily.
Contains 8 fibronectin type-III domains.
Contains 3 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
Contains 2 tyrosine-protein phosphatase domains.
