Enables protein phosphatase 2B binding activity and protein serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including male mating behavior; positive regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and thermosensory behavior. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including non-striated muscle; pharyngeal cell; somatic nervous system; tail; and vulva. Used to study Down syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Is an ortholog of human RCAN1 (regulator of calcineurin 1); RCAN2 (regulator of calcineurin 2); and RCAN3 (RCAN family member 3).
Enables calcium ion binding activity and calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; male mating behavior; and response to temperature stimulus. Located in several cellular components, including neuronal cell body; nucleus; and plasma membrane bounded cell projection. Expressed in several structures, including germ line; head neurons; muscle cell; tail neurons; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including aortic valve stenosis; cholangiocarcinoma; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 91. Is an ortholog of human PPP3CB (protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit beta) and PPP3CC (protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit gamma).
Enables calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in calcineurin-mediated signaling. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; sarcomere; and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in several structures, including germ line; gonad; muscle cell; neurons; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and dilated cardiomyopathy. Is an ortholog of human PPP3R1 (protein phosphatase 3 regulatory subunit B, alpha).
