Ppp1r1b - protein phosphatase 1, regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B

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 in humans. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
