OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. This PTP possesses an extracellular region, a single transmembrane region, and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. The extracellular region of this PTP contains a carbonic anhydrase-like (CAH) domain, which is also found in the extracellular region of PTPRBETA/ZETA. This gene is located in a chromosomal region that is frequently deleted in renal cell carcinoma and lung carcinoma, thus is thought to be a candidate tumor suppressor gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PTPRG can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PTPRG as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PTPRG could matter depends on whether native PTPRG is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PTPRG is annotated at the cell surface, where native PTPRG is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PTPRG as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
