Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase zeta

UniProtKB accession:  P23471

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Protein tyrosine phosphatase that negatively regulates oligodendrocyte precursor proliferation in the embryonic spinal cord. Required for normal differentiation of the precursor cells into mature, fully myelinating oligodendrocytes. May play a role in protecting oligondendrocytes against apoptosis. May play a role in the establishment of contextual memory, probably via the dephosphorylation of proteins that are part of important signaling cascades (By similarity).
