Facts about Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 2.
Plays a multifaceted and important role in the maturation of the immune system. Functions in T-cell receptor signaling through dephosphorylation of FYN and LCK to control T-cells differentiation and activation.

Ubiquitously expressed. Isoform 2 is probably the major isoform. Isoform 1 is expressed in T-cells and in placenta.
[Isoform 1]: Endoplasmic reticulum. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment. Targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum by its C-terminal hydrophobic region.; [Isoform 2]: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Predominantly localizes to chromatin (By similarity). Able to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and to dephosphorylate plasma membrane receptors (PubMed:9488479). Recruited by activated ITGA1 at the plasma membrane.
