UniProt functional annotation for P35992

UniProt code: P35992.

Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora.
 
Function: May have a role in axon outgrowth and guidance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1657401}.
 
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};
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: In 9-12 hour embryos, expression is specifically seen in the anterior commissure and its junctions with the longitudinal tracts. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1657401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1657402}.
Developmental stage: Expressed both maternally and zygotically. Expressed throughout development to adulthood, lowest expression is during second and third larval instars. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1657401}.
Miscellaneous: This protein is translated by readthrough of a stop codon. Readthrough of the terminator codon TAG occurs between the codons for Arg-1631 and His-1633. There is currently no sequence that provides the identity of residue 1632. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Receptor class subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
