Ptprf Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables phosphate ion binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; negative regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of cell projection organization. Located in several cellular components, including excitatory synapse; growth cone; and neuronal cell body. Is active in postsynaptic density membrane. Biomarker of obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperinsulinism. Orthologous to human PTPRF (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type F). [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 Ptprf often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
