Anti-DEP1 / Density-enhanced phosphatase 1 / PTPRJ

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase eta, also called Density-enhanced phosphatase 1 (DEP1) and CD148, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PTPRJ 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 containing five fibronectin type III repeats, a single transmembrane region, and a single intracytoplasmic catalytic domain, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. This protein is present in all hematopoietic lineages, and was shown to negatively regulate T cell receptor signaling possibly through interfering with the phosphorylation of Phospholipase C Gamma 1 and Linker for Activation of T Cells. This protein can also dephosphorylate the PDGF beta receptor, and may be involved in UV-induced signal transduction. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Protein function: Tyrosine phosphatase which dephosphorylates or contributes to the dephosphorylation of CTNND1, FLT3, PDGFRB, MET, KDR, LYN, SRC, MAPK1, MAPK3, EGFR, TJP1, OCLN, PIK3R1 and PIK3R2 (PubMed:10821867, PubMed:12062403, PubMed:12370829, PubMed:12475979, PubMed:18348712, PubMed:19494114, PubMed:19922411, PubMed:21262971). Plays a role in cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation (PubMed:12370829, PubMed:14709717, PubMed:16682945, PubMed:19836242). Involved in vascular development. Regulator of macrophage adhesion and spreading. Positively affects cell-matrix adhesion. Positive regulator of platelet activation and thrombosis. Negative regulator of cell proliferation (PubMed:16682945). Negative regulator of PDGF-stimulated cell migration, through dephosphorylation of PDGFR (PubMed:21091576). Positive regulator of endothelial cell survival, as well as of VEGF- induced SRC and AKT activation, through KDR dephosphorylation (PubMed:18936167). Negative regulator of EGFR signaling pathway, through EGFR dephosphorylation (PubMed:19836242). Enhances the barrier function of epithelial junctions during reassembly (PubMed:19332538). Negatively regulates T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling (PubMed:9531590, PubMed:9780142, PubMed:11259588). Upon T-cell TCR activation, it is up- regulated and excluded from the immunological synapses, while upon T- cell-antigen presenting cells (APC) disengagement, it is no longer excluded and can dephosphorylate PLCG1 and LAT to down-regulate prolongation of signaling (PubMed:11259588, PubMed:12913111).
