Gene information for PPP1R8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5511
Official gene symbolPPP1R8
Full nameprotein phosphatase 1, regulatory (inhibitor) subunit 8
Aliases,ARD-1,ARD1,NIPP-1,NIPP1,PRO2047,
Gene summaryThis gene, through alternative splicing, encodes three different isoforms. Two of the protein isoforms encoded by this gene are specific inhibitors of type 1 serine/threonine protein phosphatases and can bind but not cleave RNA. The third protein isoform lacks the phosphatase inhibitory function but is a single-strand endoribonuclease comparable to RNase E of E. coli. This isoform requires magnesium for its function and cleaves specific sites in A+U-rich regions of RNA. [provided by RefSeq]
