Ppp1ca - protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit alpha

Enables phosphoprotein phosphatase activity; protein phosphatase 1 binding activity; and ribonucleoprotein complex binding activity. Involved in protein dephosphorylation; regulation of glycogen metabolic process; and response to lead ion. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; glycogen granule; and perikaryon. Part of protein phosphatase type 1 complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynapse; and presynapse. Orthologous to human PPP1CA (protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
