Gene: [01q41/PPP2R5A] protein phosphatase 2, regulatory subunit B (B56), alpha isoform;


FUN

[1] Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a heterotrimeric serine/threonine phosphatase, has been implicated in a variety of regulatory processes including cell growth and division, muscle contraction, and gene transcription. PP2A is a trimeric enzyme composed of a catalytic subunit, a structural subunit, and any of several different regulatory subunits which control its specificity.
[2] The alpha subunit gene encodes a cytoplasmic phosphoprotein."

FAG

The family of related PP2A regulatory subunits is designated the B56 family and contains at least 5 different members: GEM:01q41/PPP2R5A; GEM:11q13/PPP2R5B; GEM:03p21/PPP2R5C; GEM:06p211/PPP2R5D; GEM:07p1/PPP2R5E (McCright-1995; McCright-1996)."
