Caenorhabditis elegans Enables phosphatase activity. Involved in positive regulation of vulval development and vulval cell fate specification. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in several structures, including P5.paa; P5.pap; P5.ppa; P5.ppp; and P7.paa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast angiosarcoma; carcinoma (multiple); and central nervous system cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human PTPRB (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type B).
