Rabbit anti-Human PPP2R2B Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q00005

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PPP2R2B

Target Full Name

Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A 55 kDa regulatory subunit B beta isoform

Target Function

The B regulatory subunit might modulate substrate selectivity and catalytic activity, and also might direct the localization of the catalytic enzyme to a particular subcellular compartment. Within the PP2A holoenzyme complex, isoform 2 is required to promote proapoptotic activity. Isoform 2 regulates neuronal survival through the mitochondrial fission and fusion balance.

Target Involvement

Spinocerebellar ataxia 12 (SCA12)

Target Subcellular Location

[Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Membrane.; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Mitochondrion outer membrane.

Target Protein Families

Phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit B family

Target Tissue Specificity

Brain.

Target Research Area

Neuroscience

Target Background

The product of this gene belongs to the phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit B family. Protein phosphatase 2 is one of the four major Ser/Thr phosphatases, and it is implicated in the negative control of cell growth and division. It consists of a common heteromeric core enzyme, which is composed of a catalytic subunit and a constant regulatory subunit, that associates with a variety of regulatory subunits. The B regulatory subunit might modulate substrate selectivity and catalytic activity. This gene encodes a beta isoform of the regulatory subunit B55 subfamily. Defects in this gene cause autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia 12 (SCA12), a disease caused by degeneration of the cerebellum, sometimes involving the brainstem and spinal cord, and in resulting in poor coordination of speech and body movements. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, which encode different isoforms, have been identified for this gene. The 5' UTR of some of these variants includes a CAG trinucleotide repeat sequence (7-28 copies) that can be expanded to 55-78 copies in cases of SCA12.
