PPP2CB protein phosphatase 2 catalytic subunit beta

Gene ID: 5516, updated on 6-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PP2CB; PP2Abeta

Summary

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 a beta isoform of the catalytic subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
