Phosphatase Subfamily CG9801
From PhosphataseWiki
Phosphatase Classification: Fold PPM: Superfamily PPM: Family PPM: Subfamily CG9801
Evolution
The CG9801 subfamily is found in metazoa but lost in deuterostomes. It is also found in some Amoebozoa. It is most closely related to the PTC7 subfamily, but their sequence similarity is very low
Domain Structure
CG9801 has a single structural domain, phosphatase domain, though with additional flanking conserved motifs that have not been annotated.
Function
The function of CG9801 is unclear. In Drosophila, it is reported to be subject to RNA editing [1], to be induced by ecdysone during moulting [2], and to possibly interact with the circadian clock [3]. The C. elegans homolog, F33G12.6, is uncharacterized.
