Regulatory subunit of the type I protein phosphatase (PP1) Glc7p; Glc7p participates in the regulation of a variety of metabolic processes including mitosis and glycogen metabolism; in vitro evidence suggests Ypi1p is an inhibitor of Glc7p while in vivo evidence suggests it is an activator; overproduction causes decreased cellular content of glycogen; partial depletion causes lithium sensitivity, while overproduction confers lithium-tolerance
