Description

General description

Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit alpha isoform (EC 3.1.3.16; UniProt P67775; PP2A-alpha, PP2Ac, PP2Calpha, Replication protein C, RP-C) is encoded by the PPP2CA (also known as PP2CA) gene (Gene ID 5515) in human. Protein phosphatase 2 (PP2 or PP2A) is a ubiquitously expressed heterotrimeric serine/threonine protein phosphatase with broad substrate specificity, such as Raf, MEK, and AKT. PP2A is composed of a structural A and a catalytic C subunit as the dimeric core enzyme, and a regulatory B subunit. There exist two different A subunits (PPP2R1A & PPP2R1B), two different C subunits (PPP2CA & PPP2CB), and 12 different B subunits (PPP2R2B-D, PPP2R3A-C, PPP2R4, PPP2R5A-E). The enzymatic activity of a catalytic subunit is altered upon binding an A subunit even in the absence of a B subunit. The B subunits are believed to play key roles in controlling the localization and specific activity of the A/C holoenzymes.

Specificity

Expected to recognize both spliced isoforms of human PP2A catalytic subunit reported by UniProt (P67775).

Immunogen

A 16 residue synthetic peptide (C-RGEPHVTRRTPDYFL) corresponding to amino acids 295-309 of the 36 kDa catalytic subunit of human protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A).

Epitope: Amino acids 295-309.

Application

Anti-PP2A, C subunit Antibody, clone 1D6, Alexa Fluor^™ 488 Conjugate is an antibody against PP2A for use in Immunocytochemistry.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected PP2A in NIH/3T3 cells and HUVECs.
The unconjugated antibody (Cat. No. 05-421) is shown to be suitable also for immunocytochemistry, immunoprecipitation, and Western blotting applications.
