PPP1R17 protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 17

Gene ID: 10842, updated on 27-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GSBS; C7orf16

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is found primarily in cerebellar Purkinje cells, where it functions as a protein phosphatase inhibitor. The encoded protein is a substrate for cGMP-dependent protein kinase. An allele of this gene was discovered that increases susceptibility to hypercholesterolemia. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
