title: Molecular cloning and chromosomal mapping of a human protein-tyrosine phosphatase LC-PTP.
abstract: We isolated cDNA clones encoding a protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) from a human T cell PEER cDNA library. The predicted open reading frame encodes a approximately 40-kDa protein composed of 360 amino acids and has no apparent hydrophobic segments, suggesting that it is a nontransmembrane PTP, which was designated as LC-PTP (leukocyte PTP). Northern blot analysis revealed that the LC-PTP mRNA was preferentially expressed in a variety of hematopoietic cells and the transcriptional sizes were approximately 4.0 kilobases and approximately 2.9 kilobases. Fluorescent in situ hybridization revealed that the human LC-PTP gene is located on the chromosome region 1q32.1, which is known to be a site associated with chromosomal deletion in malignant lymphomas, where candidate tumor suppressor genes might be present.
