Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit binding activity and protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of excitatory synapse assembly; negative regulation of protein phosphorylation; and regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm; midbody; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; epithelium; genitourinary system; gut; and humerus cartilage condensation. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; carcinoma (multiple); and colorectal cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human PTPN13 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 13).
