General description

Protein Phosphatase 2A1 (PP2A1) belongs to the PP2A family and comprises trimeric A, B and C subunits. PPA2 enzymes are serine/threonine phosphatases and exist as several isoforms.

Application

Protein phosphatase 2A1 has been used to treat human fibroblast cells prior to western blot analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protein Phosphatase 2A is a cytoplasmic protein, which colocalizes with microtubule proteins and is involved in the dephosphorylation of the tau protein and oncoprotein 18. Protein Phosphatase 2A1 (PP2A1) binds to polymerized microtubule proteins and may be targeted by tubulin in modulating phosphatase activity. PP2A1 is implicated as a growth suppressor and is associated with dysregulation in cancer. It also regulates cell cycle, RNA splicing differentiation, and signal transduction. PP2A dysfunction is correlated to the tau protein deregulation in Alzheimer′s disease pathophysiology. Protein Phosphatase 2A1 is a divalent cation-dependent protein serine/threonine phosphatase implicated as a growth suppressor and is associated with dysregulation in cancer.

Unit Definition

Replicative senescence in human fibroblasts is absolutely dependent on the function of the phosphoprotein p53 and correlates with activation of p53-dependent transcription. However, no evidence for posttranslational modification of p53 in senescence has been presented, raising the possibility that changes

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) comprises a diverse family of phosphoserine- and phosphothreonine-specific phosphatases present in all eukaryotic cells. All forms of PP2A contain a catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) which forms a stable complex with the structural subunit PR65/A. The heterodimer PP2Ac-PR65/A
