Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Protein - CISMeF
Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory ProteinNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Protein;
NCIt synonyms : Protein Phosphatase Regulatory Protein; Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Protein Subunit;
NCIt definition : A subunit of protein phosphatase 2A that serves as a scaffold for the formation and
localization of the holoenzyme complex and plays a role in the modulation of substrate
specificity.;
NCIt note : A major Ser/Thr phosphatase implicated in negative control of cell growth and division,
PP2A core enzyme consists of a 36-kDa catalytic C subunit and a constant 65-kDa regulatory/structural
A subunit that interact with either a B regulatory subunit or with cell signaling
molecules, that likely modulate substrate selectivity, catalytic activity, and subcellular
localization, yielding the trimeric holoenzyme. Combinations of different subunit
isoforms can generate many forms of PP2A, which may differ in substrate specificity,
subcellular localization, or tissue specific expression.;
