    basic FUNCTION
  • play regulatory roles in a variety of cellular processes
  • protein tyrosine phosphatase associated with tumor metastasis
  • promotes cancer metastasis through enhanced cell motility and invasiveness
  • is a novel regulator of NFKB1 signaling pathway through TERF2IP
  • PTP4A1, PTP4A2, PTP4A3 are key contributors to metastasis in several human cancers

    small molecule
    protein
  • down-regulate the tyrosine-phosphorylation level of integrin beta1 (ITGA1) and increased the phosphorylation level of Erk1/2
  • inverse correlation between protein levels of PTP4A3 and PCBP1 in human primary cancers
  • Stathmin, a key oncoprotein, is a new PTP4A3 associated protein (both contributed to microtubule (MT) destabilization of colorectal carcinoma cells)
  • FKBP8 is an interacting protein of PTP4A3
  • interacts with telomere-related protein TERF2IP
  • LEO1 is a novel and important mediator of PTP4A3 oncogenic activities in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
  • PTP4A3 binds to the RNA helicase DDX21, thereby restricting productive transcription by RNAPII at master transcription factor (MITF)-regulated endolysosomal vesicle genes
