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.

Subcellular Location
Cytoplasm cytosol Cytoplasm cytoskeleton Cell projection ruffle membrane Peripheral membrane protein Cytoplasmic side Cell projection lamellipodium membrane Peripheral membrane protein Cytoplasmic side Cell membrane Peripheral membrane protein Cytoplasmic side 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.
