Phosphatase Classification: Fold CC1: Superfamily CC1: Family Paladin

The phosphatase family Paladin has one subfamily Paladin.

Evolution

Paladins are found in vertebrates and early metazoa such as sponge, trichoplax and nematostella but absent from arthropoda and nematoda. Paladins are also found in most plants and a small number of fungi (see internal database gOrtholog).

Domain

The Paladin subfamily has two domains of CC1 fold, both of which lack the cysteine residue at Cx5R catalytic motif common among CC1-fold phosphatases.

Function

Little is known about Paladin's molecular function. It regulates phosphorylation status in neural crest cell formation and migration in chicken [1], but it lacks the residue necessary for phosphatase activity.

Human Paladin is widely expressed in different tissues according to GTEx.
