Function

Lipid phosphatase that specifically dephosphorylates the D-3 position of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate, generating phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate. Regulates the level of these phosphoinositides critical for various biological processes including autophagy initiation and autophagosome maturation.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non-receptor class myotubularin subfamily.

Cellular localization

  • Cytoplasm
  • Early endosome membrane
  • Peripheral membrane protein
  • Partly associated with membranes.
