nepr-1

Gene
nepr-1
Protein
Nuclear envelope phosphatase-regulatory subunit 1 homolog
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Length
140 amino acids
Function
May form with the serine/threonine protein phosphatase scpl-2 an active complex dephosphorylating and activating lipin-like phosphatases. Lipins are phosphatidate phosphatases that catalyze the conversion of phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol and control the metabolism of fatty acids at different levels. May play a role in nuclear membrane dynamics being crucial for early development of the embryo.
Similarity
Belongs to the CNEP1R1 family.
