Phosphatase Subfamily PXYLP1

Phosphatase Classification: Fold HP: Superfamily HP: Family HP, branch 2: Subfamily PXYLP1

Evolution

PXYLP1 is found in bilateria.

Domain

PXYLP1 has a N-terminal transmembrane region and C-terminal phosphatase domain.

Functions

Human PXYLP1 dephosphorylates xylose, a sugar, in the glycosaminoglycan-protein linkage region of proteoglycans . In collaboration with kinase FAM20B, it regulates the transient phosphorylation of the Xyl residue in the glycosaminoglycan-protein linkage region, which controls the formation of glycosaminoglycan chains of proteoglycans [1].

Related kinase

FAM20B.
