C25E10.12 encodes one of three C. elegans metallophoshopesterase that are related to human 239FB, which is encoded by a gene in the 11p13-p14 chromosomal region associated with various tumors and WAGR (Wilms' tumor, aniridia, genitourinary anomalies, and mental retardation) syndrome; large-scale expression studies suggest that C25E10.12 is expressed in a number of different tissues including the intestine, hypodermis, nervous system, and epithelial arcade cells.
Predicted to enable hydrolase activity. Is an ortholog of human MPPED1 (metallophosphoesterase domain containing 1) and MPPED2 (metallophosphoesterase domain containing 2).
