| Function | Protein serine phosphatase that dephosphorylates 'Ser-3' in cofilin and probably also dephosphorylates phospho-serine residues in DSTN. Regulates cofilin-dependent actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Required for normal progress through mitosis and normal cytokinesis. Does not dephosphorylate phospho-threonines in LIMK1. Does not dephosphorylate peptides containing phospho- tyrosine. Pyridoxal phosphate phosphatase. Has some activity towards pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PMP) and pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), with a highest activity with PLP followed by PNP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14522954, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. |

Note=Colocalizes with the actin cytoskeleton in membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. Diffusely distributed throughout the cytosol during pro-metaphase and metaphase. Detected at the dynamic cell poles during telophase. Detected at the cleavage furrow and contractile ring during cytokinesis. Transiently detected at the plasma membrane in late stages of cytokinesis. Detected at the midbody. |
| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in all the regions of central nerve system except the spinal cord. Also expressed at high level in liver and testis. In fetus, it is weakly expressed in all organs except brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14522954, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. |
