GO curators for mouse genes have assigned the following annotations to the gene product of Ppp1r3c. (This text reflects annotations as of Wednesday, January 23, 2013.) Summary from NCBI RefSeq
[Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1). PP1 catalyzes reversible protein phosphorylation, which is important in a wide range of cellular activities: neuronal, muscular, RNA splicing, protein synthesis, cell death, and glycogen metabolism, to name just a few. By interacting with different regulatory subunits, PP1 is directed to different parts of the cell, to different substrates, or to respond to extracellular signals.
