• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 2, also known as T-cell protein-tyrosine phosphatase, PTPN2 and PTPT, is a cytoplasm protein which belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family and Non-receptor class 1 subfamily. Members of the protein tyrosine phosphatase ( PTP ) family share a highly conserved catalytic motif, which is essential for the catalytic activity. TC-PTP / PTPN2 is a cytosolic tyrosine phosphatase that functions as a negative regulator of a variety of tyrosine kinases and other signaling proteins. The expression of TC-PTP / PTPN2 plays a role of tumor suppressor and may modulate response to treatment. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. Epidermal growth factor receptor and the adaptor protein Shc were reported to be substrates of this PTP, which suggested the roles in growth factor mediated cell signaling. TC-PTP / PTPN2 is an enzyme that is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and that participates in the control of cell proliferation, and inflammation. TC-PTP / PTPN2 was identified as a negative regulator of NUP214-ABL1 kinase activity.

Baculovirus-Insect Cells

A DNA sequence encoding the human PTPN2 ( P17706-1) (Met 1-Asn 314) was expressed and purified with two additional amino acids (Gly & Pro ) at the N-terminus.

Human

The secreted recombinant human PTPN2 consists of 316 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 36.8 KDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 37 KDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
