Summary: Enables calcium ion binding activity and calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including male mating behavior; olfactory learning; and peptidyl-serine dephosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; neuronal cell body; and non-motile cilium. Is expressed in several structures, including germ line; hypodermis; muscle cell; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aortic valve stenosis; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 91; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to several human genes including PPP3CB (protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit beta) and PPP3CC (protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit gamma).
