Ptpdc1 - protein tyrosine phosphatase domain containing 1

The protein encoded by this gene is a centrosomal mitotic phosphatase. This protein has been implicated in centrosomal duplication and cytokinesis. In addition, knockdown of expression levels in non-cycling cells results in extra long cilia, suggesting that this protein may function in regulating cilia length independent of a function in cell cycle control. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
