Gene: PPP1R3A

Alternate names for this Gene: GM|PP1G|PPP1R3

Gene Summary: The glycogen-associated form of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) derived from skeletal muscle is a heterodimer composed of a 37-kD catalytic subunit and a 124-kD targeting and regulatory subunit. This gene encodes the regulatory subunit which binds to muscle glycogen with high affinity, thereby enhancing dephosphorylation of glycogen-bound substrates for PP1 such as glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase kinase.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q31.1

Description of this Gene: protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 3A

Type of Gene: protein-coding
