    Summary
    Enables protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amino acid starvation; negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; and positive regulation of G1 to G0 transition. Located in cell periphery. Used to study progressive myoclonus epilepsy 3. Orthologous to human GPATCH1 (G-patch domain containing 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
