Ptpn6 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including phosphotyrosine residue binding activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including epididymis development; negative regulation of cytokine production; and negative regulation of inflammatory response to wounding. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hemopoiesis; negative regulation of protein phosphorylation; and regulation of lymphocyte activation. Located in cell-cell junction. Part of alpha-beta T cell receptor complex. Is active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; liver; retina; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human PTPN6 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ptpn6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
