pph-4.2 encodes a member of the PPP family of protein serine threonine phosphatases and is a homolog of protein phosphatase 4 (PP4); affects larval viability at low penetrance in RNAi screens.
Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is an ortholog of human PPP4C (protein phosphatase 4 catalytic subunit).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
