Gene:
serine/threonine/tyrosine interacting protein
Gene ID:
205404
Symbol:
STYX
Species:
1000
Description:
Probable pseudophosphatase. Contains a Gly residue instead of a conserved Cys residue in the dsPTPase catalytic loop which renders it catalytically inactive as a phosphatase. The binding pocket is however sufficiently preserved to bind phosphorylated substrates, and maybe protect them from phosphatases. Seems to play a role in spermiogenesis (By similarity).
