SSH1
Protein phosphatase which regulates actin filament dynamics. Dephosphorylates and activates the actin binding/depolymerizing factor cofilin, which subsequently binds to actin filaments and stimulates their disassembly. Inhibitory phosphorylation of cofilin is mediated by LIMK1, which may also be dephosphorylated and inactivated by this protein. Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. 5 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
