UniProt functional annotation for Q16827

UniProt code: Q16827.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Possesses tyrosine phosphatase activity. Plays a role in regulating the glomerular pressure/filtration rate relationship through an effect on podocyte structure and function (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19167335}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H2O + O-phospho-L-tyrosyl-[protein] = L-tyrosyl-[protein] + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10684, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10136, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:10137, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:46858, ChEBI:CHEBI:82620; EC=3.1.3.48; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10044};
Subunit: Interacts (phosphorylated form) with FYN and GRB2. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:E9Q612}.
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Glomerulus of kidney. Also detected in brain, lung and placenta. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10498613}.
Induction: By various differentiation-inducing agents.
Disease: Nephrotic syndrome 6 (NPHS6) [MIM:614196]: A form of nephrotic syndrome, a renal disease clinically characterized by severe proteinuria, resulting in complications such as hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and edema. Kidney biopsies show non-specific histologic changes such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial proliferation. Some affected individuals have an inherited steroid-resistant form and progress to end-stage renal failure. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21722858}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 3]: Predominantly expressed in B-lymphoid tissues. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Receptor class 3 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
