GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PPP1R17 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
C7orf16, GSBS
Description
Protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 17 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is found primarily in cerebellar Purkinje cells, where it functions as a protein phosphatase inhibitor. The encoded protein is a substrate for cGMP-dependent protein kinase. An allele of this gene was discovered that increases susceptibility to hypercholesterolemia. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
