F09C12.8 encodes an ortholog, predicted to be catalytically inactive, ofBombyx mori ecdysteroid phosphate phosphatase (EPP), human STS1(OMIM:609201) and human UBASH3A (OMIM:605736); F09C12.8 is alsoparalogous to C. elegans C52E4.7, F53B6.7, F55A11.11, and T07F12.1.
Enriched in NSM; germ line; sensory neurons; and in male based on RNA-seq; tiling array; and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-2; skn-1; and dpy-10 based on microarray; RNA-seq; and tiling array studies. Is affected by twenty chemicals including Ethanol; nicotinic acid; and methylmercuric chloride based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Histidine phosphatase superfamily; Histidine phosphatase superfamily (branch 1); and Histidine phosphatase superfamily, clade-1.
