Public Gene Name

F53B6.7  

Sequence Name

F53B6.7  

WB ID

WBGene00009962  

Description

F53B6.7 encodes a member of the histidine phosphatase superfamily orthologous to Bombyx mori ecdysteroid phosphate phosphatase (EPP), human STS1 (OMIM:609201) and human UBASH3A (OMIM:605736); F53B6.7 lacks the consensus sequence for phosphatase activity, and thus is predicted to be catalytically inactive; F53B6.7 is paralogous to C. elegans C52E4.7, F09C12.8, F55A11.11, and T07F12.1; loss of F53B6.7 activity via large-scale RNAi results in no obvious defects.
