Ptprt Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including STAT family protein binding activity; alpha-catenin binding activity; and beta-catenin binding activity. Involved in regulation of synapse organization. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human PTPRT (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type T).

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 rat Ptprt often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
