Anti-MTMR5

This gene encodes a member of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. However, the encoded protein does not appear to be a catalytically active phosphatase because it lacks several amino acids in the catalytic pocket. This protein contains a Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) domain which is necessary for its role in growth and differentiation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 4B3. Pseudogenes of this gene have been defined on chromosomes 1 and 8.

May function as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activating RAB28 (PubMed:20937701). Promotes the exchange of GDP to GTP, converting inactive GDP-bound Rab proteins into their active GTP-bound form (PubMed:20937701). Inhibits myoblast differentiation in vitro and induces oncogenic transformation in fibroblasts (PubMed:9537414). [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: WB 1:500-2000.
