Normal role description: MTMR3 is a phosphatase that acts on lipids with a phosphoinositol headgroup. Has phosphatase activity towards phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate. May also dephosphorylate proteins phosphorylated on Ser, Thr, and Tyr residues. It can therefore be speculated that MTMR3 will attenuate the pro-oncogenic signalling of IP3/AKT pathway but this has not been clearly demonstrated.
