No association between transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase receptor type C (PTPRC) exon A 77C>G transversion and liver transplant rejection.
Summary of "No association between transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase receptor type C (PTPRC) exon A 77C>G transversion and liver transplant rejection."
This study was carried out to evaluate the association between 77C>G transversion (rs17612648) in exon A of the PTPRC gene and liver transplant rejection. No significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies of the 77C>G transversion were detected between recipients without rejection (n = 106) and recipients with rejection (n = 104). In conclusion, there was no evidence for the contribution of the 77C>G transversion in susceptibility to liver transplant rejection in a Caucasian population.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Non-receptor Type 2
A subtype of non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase that is closely-related to PROTEIN TYROSINE PHOSPHATASE, NON-RECEPTOR TYPE 1. Alternative splicing of the mRNA for this phosphatase results in the production at two gene products, one of which includes a C-terminal nuclear localization domain that may be involved in the transport of the protein to the CELL NUCLEUS. Although initially referred to as T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase the expression of this subtype occurs widely.
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Non-receptor Type 11
A subtype of non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases that contain two SRC HOMOLOGY DOMAINS. Mutations in the gene for protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 11 are associated with NOONAN SYNDROME.
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Non-receptor Type 6
A Src-homology domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase found in the CYTOSOL of hematopoietic cells. It plays a role in signal transduction by dephosphorylating signaling proteins that are activated or inactivated by PROTEIN-TYROSINE KINASES.
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Non-receptor Type 3
A subtype of non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases that is characterized by the presence of an amino-terminal FERM domain, an intervening region containing one or more PDZ domains, and a carboxyl-terminal phosphatase domain. Expression of this phosphatase subtype has been observed in BONE MARROW; fetal LIVER; LYMPH NODES; and T LYMPHOCYTES.
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Non-receptor Type 22
A subtype of non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases that is characterized by the presence of an N-terminal catalytic domain and a C-terminal PROLINE-rich domain. The phosphatase subtype is predominantly expressed in LYMPHOCYTES and plays a key role in the inhibition of downstream T-LYMPHOCYTE activation. Polymorphisms in the gene that encodes this phosphatase subtype are associated with a variety of AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.
