cnep-1

Gene
cnep-1
Protein
CTD nuclear envelope phosphatase 1 homolog
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Length
246 amino acids
Function
Serine/threonine protein phosphatase that may dephosphorylate and activate 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 indirectly modulate the lipid composition of nuclear and/or endoplasmic reticulum membranes and be required for proper nuclear membrane morphology and/or dynamics. May also indirectly regulate the production of lipid droplets and triacylglycerol.
Similarity
Belongs to the dullard family.
Mass
