Protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2), is one of the most abundant mammalian tyrosine phosphatase. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. By virtue of protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, PTPN2 is known to be a signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation involved in cell communication and signal transduction.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) regulates interferon signaling and the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in pancreatic β-cells during autoimmune diabetes. It serves as a crucial prognostic marker that influences the progression of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) by activating the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Silencing PTPN2 leads to a significant reduction in PAAD cell growth, migration, and invasion, while also triggering cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in PAAD cells.
