Entry terms

  • Protein Phosphatase 2A
  • Protein Phosphatase-2A

Scope note

  • A phosphoprotein phosphatase subtype that is comprised of a catalytic subunit and two different regulatory subunits. At least two genes encode isoforms of the protein phosphatase catalytic subunit, while several isoforms of regulatory subunits exist due to the presence of multiple genes and the alternative splicing of their mRNAs. Protein phosphatase 2 acts on a broad variety of cellular proteins and may play a role as a regulator of intracellular signaling processes.

History note

  • 2008(1985); for PROTEIN PHOSPHATASE-2A use PHOSPHOPROTEIN PHOSPHATASE 1 1985-2007
