PPEF1 protein phosphatase with EF-hand domain 1

Gene ID: 5475, updated on 27-Aug-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PP7; PPEF; PPP7C; PPP7CA

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase with EF-hand motif family. The protein contains a protein phosphatase catalytic domain, and at least two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs in its C terminus. Although its substrate(s) is unknown, the encoded protein has been suggested to play a role in specific sensory neuron function and/or development. This gene shares high sequence similarity with the Drosophila retinal degeneration C (rdgC) gene. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants, each encoding a distinct isoform, have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
