Anti-PTPN22 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 22 (lymphoid), also known as PTPN22, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PTPN22 gene. It is mapped to 1p13.2. This gene encodes of member of the non-receptor class 4 subfamily of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. The encoded protein is a lymphoid-specific intracellular phosphatase that associates with the molecular adapter protein CBL and may be involved in regulating CBL function in the T-cell receptor signaling pathway. Mutations in this gene may be associated with a range of autoimmune disorders including Type 1 Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and Graves' disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.

Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 22; Hematopoietic cell protein-tyrosine phosphatase 70Z-PEP; Lymphoid phosphatase; LyP; PEST-domain phosphatase; PEP; PTPN22; PTPN8

Acts as negative regulator of T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling by dephosphorylation of the Src family kinases LCK and FYN, ITAMs of the TCRz/CD3 complex, as well as ZAP70, VAV, VCP and other key signaling molecules. Associates with and probably dephosphorylates CBL. Dephosphorylates LCK at its activating 'Tyr-394' residue. Dephosphorylates ZAP70 at its activating 'Tyr-493' residue. Dephosphorylates the immune system activator SKAP2. Positively regulates toll-like receptor (TLR) -induced type 1 interferon production. Promotes host antiviral responses mediated by type 1 interferon. Regulates NOD2-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and autophagy.
