Summary: Enables phosphatase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nematode larval development; phosphatidylinositol metabolic process; and pinocytosis. Located in apical plasma membrane and cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including anal depressor muscle; coelomocyte; intestinal cell; preanal ganglion; and tail. Used to study centronuclear myopathy. Orthologous to human MTMR6 (myotubularin related protein 6); MTMR7 (myotubularin related protein 7); and MTMR8 (myotubularin related protein 8).
