Ptpru Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables beta-catenin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within homotypic cell-cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in cell-cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PTPRU (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type U). [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 Ptpru often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
