PPP1CB protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit beta

Gene ID: 5500, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MP; PP1B; PP1c; NSLH2; PP-1B; PPP1CD; PP1beta; PPP1beta; HEL-S-80p

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is one of the three catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). PP1 is a serine/threonine specific protein phosphatase known to be involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular processes, such as cell division, glycogen metabolism, muscle contractility, protein synthesis, and HIV-1 viral transcription. Mouse studies suggest that PP1 functions as a suppressor of learning and memory. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.
