Background:

Protein tyrosine phosphatases, or PTPs, are type I transmembrane proteins,membrane-associated proteins or proteins localized in nuclei. Examples of transmembrane PTPs are LAR, PTPα, PTPβ, PTPγ, PTPδ, PTPε, PTPζ, PTPκ and PTPμ. Transmembrane PTPs play diverse roles in a variety of cellular processes during development and in adult tissues. PTP IA-2 (PTP insulinoma-associated protein 2), also known as PTPRN, IA2, ICA512 (islet cell antigen 512) or RPTPN, is a receptor-type PTP-like protein containing a transmembrane region, an intracellular PTP-like domain and an extracellular Nterminus.Localizing to secretory granules, PTP IA-2 is exclusively expressed in neuroendocrine cells (including pancreatic islet cells) and is believed to participate in the regulation of secretory granule exocytosis. PTP IA-2 is an autoantigen and contributes to Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The detection of autoantibodies against PTP IA-2 is commonly used as a diabetes diagnosis marker.
