Function

Mitochondrial serine/threonine phosphatase that dephosphorylates various substrates and thus plays a role in different biological processes including cellular senescence or mitophagy. Modulates cellular senescence by regulating mitochondrial dynamics. Mechanistically, participates in mitochondrial fission through dephosphorylating DNM1L/DRP1. Additionally, dephosphorylates MFN2 in a stress- sensitive manner and consequently protects it from ubiquitination and degradation to promote mitochondrial network formation. Regulates mitophagy independent of PARKIN by interacting with and dephosphorylating FUNDC1, which interacts with LC3. Regulates anti-oxidative response by forming a tertiary complex with KEAP1 and NRF2. Regulates necroptosis by acting as a RIPK3 target and recruiting the RIPK1-RIPK3- MLKL necrosis 'attack' complex to mitochondria.
