Facts about Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase N2.
Required for normal accumulation of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin in the brain. In females, but not in males, required for normal accumulation and secretion of pituitary hormones, such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (By similarity).

Highest levels in brain and pancreas (PubMed:8954911, PubMed:8798755). Lower levels in trachea, prostate, stomach and spinal chord (PubMed:8798755).
Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Predominantly found on dense-core secretory granules. Sorting to secretory granules in part is dependent of the N-terminal propeptide domain of the precursor and its interaction with CPE (By similarity). Transiently found at the cell membrane, when secretory vesicles fuse with the cell membrane to release their cargo. Is then endocytosed and recycled to secretory vesicles involving clathrin-dependent AP2-me
