We have mapped the mouse protein tyrosine phosphatase {epsilon} (PTP{epsilon}, gene symbol PTPRE) gene to the distal region of chromosome 7 by linkage analysis using two sets of multilocus genetic crosses. The human PTP{epsilon} gene (gene symbol PTPRE) was mapped to chromosome 10q26 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. We have previously documented the existence of two isoforms of PTP{epsilon}--a transmembranal, receptor-type isoform and a shorter, cytoplasmic one. Both isoforms have been suggested to arise from a single gene through the use of alternative promoters and 5{prime} exons. The identification of a single PTP{epsilon} locus in both organisms is consistent with this suggestion. 12 refs., 2 figs.
