Receptor-Type Tyrosine-Protein Phosphatase Eta

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme|Receptor

**Definition:** Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase eta (1337 aa, ~146 kDa) is encoded by the human PTPRJ gene. This protein plays a role in protein dephosphorylation, chemotaxis and the negative regulation of receptor-mediated signaling, cell proliferation and cell growth.
