This entry includes putative protein phosphatases. None of the homologues have been biochemically characterised, and the function is inferred from homology. The homologue from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is known as 5-azacytidine resistance protein azr1, because it suppresses sensitivity to the C5 DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-azacytidine [ 1 ].
