Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in dephosphorylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of neuron projection development and positive regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane. Located in neuron projection terminus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human PTPN9 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 9).
