Storage and Stability :
Valid for 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -80°C. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human PTP alpha on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 90%.

Background :
The receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase α (encoded by PTPRA), a 130-kDa transmembrane PTP, has shown to be a physiological regulator for PTK c-Src and the kinases involved in integrin signaling pathway including FAK and P130cas. The activation of PTPRA on Src Y530 dephosphorylation led to cellular transformation, which suggested that PTPRA might be an oncogenic gene.

Synonyms :
R-PTP-alpha; PTPRA; PTPA; PTPRL2; PTP alpha; HEPTP; HLPR; HPTPA;
