PTPRA (also known as LRP) is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase family and contains an extracellular domain, a single transmembrane segment and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains. PTPRA dephosphorylates SRC family kinases, potassium channels and NMDA receptors and exists as three alternatively spliced variants which encode two distinct isoforms. Absence of PTPRA compromises correct positioning of pyramidal neurons during development of mouse hippocampus.
Despite clear indications of their importance in lower organisms, the contributions of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) to development or function of the mammalian nervous system have been poorly explored. In vitro studies have indicated that receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha

Protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (protein-tyrosine-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.13.48) have been implicated in the regulation of cell growth; however, to date few tyrosine phosphatases have been characterized. To identify additional family members, the cDNA for the human tyrosine phosphatase leukocyte common antigen (LCA; CD45)
