Facts about Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase-like N.
Required for the accumulation of normal levels of insulin-containing vesicles and preventing their degradation (PubMed:24843546). Plays a role in insulin secretion in response to glucose stimuli (PubMed:24843546).

Expression is restricted to neuroendocrine cells. Found in pancreas, brain and pituitary.
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Perikaryon. Cell projection, axon. Cell junction, synapse. Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endosome. Detected on neuronal secretory vesicles, but not on synaptic vesicles. Colocalizes with insulin-containing secretory granules (PubMed:25561468). Primarily detected on secretory vesicle membranes. Transiently found at the cell membrane, when secretory vesicles fuse with the cell membrane to release their cargo. Is then endocytosed and recycled t
