Supplementary information

PTP4A2 also known as PRL2 is a protein tyrosine phosphatase with a mass of approximately 19 kDa. It functions by catalyzing the removal of phosphate groups from tyrosine residues on proteins which regulates various cellular processes. PTP4A2 is expressed in a range of tissues including the liver brain and heart. Its expression has been noted to increase in certain types of cancer suggesting its involvement in tumorigenesis.
Biological function summary

PTP4A2 regulates cell growth migration and invasion. It participates in several biological processes by modulating signaling pathways that control these activities. PTP4A2 does not traditionally form part of a larger protein complex but interacts with other proteins to exert its effects. It is important in normal cellular proliferation and differentiation.

Pathways

PTP4A2 plays a role in the MAPK signaling pathway and interacts with proteins such as ERK1 and ERK2. It is also involved in the PI3K/AKT pathway affecting cell survival and metabolism. Through these pathways PTP4A2 modulates various cellular responses influencing both normal physiological processes and pathological conditions.

PTP4A2 shows a significant link to cancer particularly breast and prostate cancers. This protein influences disease progression via alterations in related signaling pathways. PTP4A2 connections to oncogenes like c-Myc highlight its role in tumor development and progression. Its activity in these contexts makes it a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment strategies.

General info

Function

Protein tyrosine phosphatase which stimulates progression from G1 into S phase during mitosis. Promotes tumors. Inhibits geranylgeranyl transferase type II activity by blocking the association between RABGGTA and RABGGTB.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family.

Post-translational modifications

Farnesylated. Farnesylation is required for membrane targeting and for interaction with RABGGTB. Unfarnesylated forms are redirected to the nucleus and cytosol.

Subcellular localisation

Early endosome
