The gene encodes a subunit of myosin phosphatase. The encoded protein regulates the catalytic activity of protein phosphatase 1 delta and assembly of the actin cytoskeleton. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012],

Function:
Caution:Although assigned as two separate genes (PPP1R12C and LENG3), it is probable that LENG3 does not exist by itself and is a part of the PPP1R12C gene.,Function:Regulates myosin phosphatase activity.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,sequence Caution:Unspliced mRNA.,similarity:Contains 4 ANK repeats.,subcellular location:Along actomyosin filaments and stress fibers.,subunit:PP1 comprises a catalytic subunit, PPP1CA, PPP1CB or PPP1CC, and one or several targeting or regulatory subunits. PPP1R12C mediates binding to myosin. Interacts via its N-terminus with PPP1CB. Interacts with IL16. Interacts with the coiled-coil domain of MPRIP.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in heart.,
