Ptpn9 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of neuron projection development; peptidyl-tyrosine dephosphorylation; and positive regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and neuron projection terminus. Orthologous to human PTPN9 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 9).

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 Ptpn9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
