    Summary
    Enables protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; positive regulation of G1 to G0 transition; and positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter in response to heat stress. Located in cell periphery. Orthologous to human GPATCH1 (G-patch domain containing 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
