Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2)

Non-receptor type tyrosine-specific phosphatase which dephosphorylates receptor protein tyrosine kinases including INSR, EGFR, CSF1R, PDGFR. Additionally dephosphorylates non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases like JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, Src family kinases, STAT1, STAT3 and STAT6 either in the nucleus or the cytoplasm.

Plays a multifaceted and important role in the maturation of the immune system. Functions in T-cell receptor signaling through dephosphorylation of FYN and LCK to control T-cells differentiation and activation.
