Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables identical protein binding activity and phosphatidylinositol phosphate phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of myelination; nervous system development; and phosphatidylinositol dephosphorylation. Located in vacuolar membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; gut; immune system; and nervous system. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4B1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4B1. Orthologous to human MTMR2 (myotubularin related protein 2).
