Interactions
VE-PTP contains an extracellular domain composed of multiple fibronectin type_III repeats, a single transmembrane segment and one intracytoplasmic catalytic domain, thus belongs to R3 receptor subtype PTPs. The extracellular region was shown to interact with the angiopoietin receptor Tie-2 [6] and with the adhesion protein VE-cadherin. [9] [10]
VE-PTP was also found to interact with Grb2 and plakoglobin through its cytoplasmatic domain.
VE-PTP was also shown through proximity ligation assay to form a complex with VEGFR2 [11] [12] , which is involved in regulation of angiogenesis and vascular permeability [13] . Activation of VEGFR2 by VEGF was shown to induce complex dissociation, leading to increased VEGFR2 phosphorylation at tyrosine sites 1175 and 951 in immortalized endothelial cells. [11] [12]
