PPP1R1B protein phosphatase 1 regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B

Gene ID: 84152, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DARPP32; DARPP-32

Summary

This gene encodes a bifunctional signal transduction molecule. Dopaminergic and glutamatergic receptor stimulation regulates its phosphorylation and function as a kinase or phosphatase inhibitor. As a target for dopamine, this gene may serve as a therapeutic target for neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
