Background: TPTE (transmembrane phosphatase with tensin homology), also known as PTEN2 (phosphatase and tensin homolog 2) in mice or CT44 (cancer/testis antigen 44), is a 551 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein belonging to the PTEN-related family that is exclusively expressed in the testis and localizes to the plasma membrane in humans. The gene encoding TPTE is present in multiple copies in the human genome, some of which may be pseudogenes. TPTE contains one C2 tensin-type domain and one phosphatase tensin-type domain but, in humans, it does not exhibit phosphatase activity. However, the mouse ortholog (PTEN2) is a functional 3-phosphoinositide phosphatase that localizes to the Golgi apparatus and plays a possible role in signal transduction. In humans, four isoforms, namely TPTEα, TPTEβ, TPTEγ and TPTE∂, are produced by alternative splicing of this gene.
