Ppp1r15a - protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 15A

Enables protein phosphatase binding activity and protein phosphatase regulator activity. Involved in several processes, including peptidyl-serine dephosphorylation; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of protein modification process. Acts upstream of or within endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cytosol; 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 liver. Used to study thalassemia. Orthologous to human PPP1R15A (protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
