Protein function (UniProt)

Polyphosphoinositide phosphatase

Dual specificity phosphatase component of the PI(3,5)P2 regulatory complex which regulates both the synthesis and turnover of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2) (PubMed:17556371, PubMed:33098764). Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2) to form phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PubMed:33098764). Has serine-protein phosphatase activity acting on PIKfyve to stimulate its lipid kinase activity, its catalytically activity being required for maximal PI(3,5)P2 production (PubMed:33098764). In vitro, hydrolyzes all three D5-phosphorylated polyphosphoinositide and although displaying preferences for PtdIns(3,5)P2, it is capable of hydrolyzing PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(4,5)P2, at least in vitro (PubMed:17556371)
