OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the R3 subtype family of receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatases. These proteins are localized to the apical surface of polarized cells and may have tissue-specific functions through activation of Src family kinases. This gene contains two distinct promoters, and alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed. The encoded proteins may have multiple isoform-specific and tissue-specific functions, including the regulation of osteoclast production and activity, inhibition of cell proliferation and facilitation of apoptosis. This gene is a candidate tumor suppressor, and decreased expression of this gene has been observed in several types of cancer. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

PTPRO is annotated at the cell surface, where native PTPRO 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 PTPRO as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
