Expression of receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase α mRNA and protein during mouse embryogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase alpha (RPTP alpha) is a transmembrane member of the family of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) that has been implicated in neuronal differentiation in vitro. Here we demonstrate that RPTP alpha is differentially expressed during mouse embryogenesis in a spatio-temporal manner. RPTP alpha expression was detectable in 6 days post coitum (dpc) embryos, but not in 7.5 dpc embryos. From 10.5 dpc onwards a striking RPTP alpha expression pattern was observed with elevated levels in the dorsal root ganglia, cranial ganglia and adrenal gland, suggesting that RPTP alpha levels are specifically enhanced in neural crest derivatives. Marked differences between RPTP alpha mRNA and protein levels indicated that RPTP alpha expression is regulated by transcriptional and (post-) translational mechanisms. The expression pattern of RPTP alpha suggests that RPTP alpha may play a role in neural crest cell differentiation in vivo.

Introduction: One of the vital enzymes during spermatogenesis, which is one of the pluripotency factors of stem cells and contributes to maintaining their pluripotency is alkaline phosphatase. ZBTB16 and ZFP proteins are critical elements in stem cells which are expressed in pluripotent stem cells and maintain their pluripotency due to their role in messaging pathways.
