PPFIA2 - PTPRF interacting protein alpha 2 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About PPFIA2
This gene has 28 transcripts (splice variants), 227 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 7.4), adrenal (RPKM 1.4) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the LAR protein-tyrosine phosphatase-interacting protein (liprin) family. Liprins interact with members of LAR family of transmembrane Protein tyrosine phosphatases, which are known to be important for axon guidance and mammary gland development. It has been proposed that liprins are multivalent proteins that form complex structures and act as scaffolds for the recruitment and anchoring of LAR family of tyrosine phosphatases. This protein has been shown to bind the calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase (MAGUK family) protein (also known as CASK) and proposed to regulate higher-order brain functions in mammals. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
