Description
Recombinant full-length human PTPN11 (T253M Q257L) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. The gene accession number is NM_002834.
Mammalian PTPases can be subdivided into 1 of 2 broad categories: transmembrane receptor PTPases and intracellular PTPases. PTPN11 is one of the 2 closely related mammalian intracellular PTPases whose sequences encode 2 tandem SRC homology 2 (SH2) domains that are located at the amino-terminal side of a single PTPase catalytic domain (1). This PTP is widely expressed in most tissues and plays a regulatory role in various cell signaling events that are important for a diversity of cell functions, such as mitogenic activation, metabolic control, transcription regulation, and cell migration (2)
