Anti-MTMR8

This gene encodes a member of the myotubularin-related family and is part of the MTMR6 subgroup. Family members are dual-specificity phosphatases and the encoded protein contains a phosphoinositide-binding domain (PID) and a SET-interacting domain (SID). Defects in other family members have been found in myotubular myopathic diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010] Protein function: Phosphatase that acts on lipids with a phosphoinositol headgroup (PubMed:22647598, PubMed:26143924). Has phosphatase activity towards phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5- bisphosphate (PubMed:22647598, PubMed:26143924). In complex with MTMR9, negatively regulates autophagy (PubMed:22647598). [The UniProt Consortium]
