Rabbit Anti-PTP4A2, ID (Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Type IVA 2, Protein-tyrosine Phosphatase 4a2, Protein-tyrosine Phosphatase Of Regenerating Liver 2, PRL-2, PTP(CAAXII), HU-PP-1, OV-1, BM-008, PTPCAAX2, PRL2)
PTP4A2 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.
