Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein phosphatase binding activity and protein phosphatase regulator activity. Involved in positive regulation of protein modification process; regulation of gene expression; and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Acts upstream of or within endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; membrane; and mitochondrion. Predicted to be part of protein phosphatase type 1 complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and hindlimb joint. Used to study thalassemia. Orthologous to human PPP1R15A (protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15A).
