About PPP4R1

Cytogenetic location: 18p11.22 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 18:9,546,794-9,617,199 (from NCBI)

This gene has 29 transcripts (splice variants), 169 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in esophagus (RPKM 39.0), testis (RPKM 25.5) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes one of several alternate regulatory subunits of serine/threonine protein Phosphatase 4 (PP4). The protein features multiple HEAT repeats. This protein forms a complex with PP4RC. This complex may have a distinct role from other PP4 complexes, including regulation of HDAC3 (Zhang et al., PMID: 15805470). There is also a transcribed pseudogene on chromosome 20. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]
