General description

Research area: Neuroscience
Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) is one of the key serine/threonine-specific protein phosphatases.

Application

Research Category
Inflammation & Immunology

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protein Target: PP1α Target Sub-Family: Ser/Thr phosphatase

Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) has been associated with a wide range of biological processes, including synaptic plasticity, cell cycle progression, dopaminergic neurotransmission, contraction, and glycogen metabolism, maintaining microtubule stability and the dephosphorylation of tau. Furthermore, PP-1 plays a vital role in synaptic development, plasticity, signaling, neurite outgrowth, synapse formation, ion channel function, and neurotransmission. Changes in PP-1 signaling within dendritic spines have been linked to various neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Protein phosphatases, by counteracting protein kinases, regulate the reversible phosphorylation of many substrates involved in synaptic plasticity, a cellular model for learning and memory. A prominent phosphatase regulating synaptic plasticity and neurologic disorders is the serine/threonine protein phosphatase 1 (PP1).
