Ptpn6 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables cytokine receptor binding activity and natural killer cell lectin-like receptor binding activity. Involved in cellular response to macrophage colony-stimulating factor stimulus and response to axon injury. Located in apical dendrite. 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 rat 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.
