Ptprj Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; delta-catenin binding activity; and gamma-catenin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including hemopoiesis; regulation of cell migration; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within heart development; oligodendrocyte differentiation; and vasculogenesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including immunological synapse; nuclear lumen; and ruffle membrane. Used to study hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; lung adenocarcinoma; lung squamous cell carcinoma; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human PTPRJ (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type J). [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 Ptprj often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
