General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Dual specificity protein phosphatase. May be involved in the control of glycogen metabolism, particularly in monitoring for and preventing the formation of poorly branched glycogen molecules (polyglucosans). Acts as a scaffold protein to facilitate PPP1R3C/PTG ubiquitination by NHLRC1/malin. Forms a complex with NHLRC1/malin and HSP70 and this complex suppresses the cellular toxicity of misfolded proteins by promoting their degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) By similarity. |
| Catalytic activity | Protein tyrosine phosphate + H2O = protein tyrosine + phosphate. A phosphoprotein + H2O = a protein + phosphate. |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with itself; interacts also with PPP1R3C, HIRIP5 and EPM2AIP1. Binds polyglucosans and glycogen. Interacts with NHLRC1/malin (via the NHL repeats). Forms a complex with NHLRC1/malin and HSP70 By similarity. |
| Subcellular location | Cytoplasm By similarity. Endoplasmic reticulum By similarity. Note: Under glycogenolytic conditions localizes to the nucleus By similarity. |
| Tissue specificity | Widely expressed. Ref.1 |
| Post-translational modification | Polyubiquitinated by NHLRC1/malin By similarity. Phosphorylation on Ser-21 by AMPK affects the phosphatase activity of the enzyme and its ability to homodimerize and interact with NHLRC1, PPP1R3C or PRKAA2 By similarity. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Contains 1 CBM20 (carbohydrate binding type-20) domain. Contains 1 tyrosine-protein phosphatase domain. |
