Gene:
protein phosphatase 2 (formerly 2A), catalytic subunit, alpha isoform
Gene ID:
196382
Symbol:
PPP2CA
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes the phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit. Protein phosphatase 2A 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. This gene encodes an alpha isoform of the catalytic subunit.
