Gene: PPP2CA

Alternate names for this Gene: NEDLBA|PP2Ac|PP2CA|PP2Calpha|RP-C

Gene 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 an alpha isoform of the catalytic subunit.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q31.1

Description of this Gene: protein phosphatase 2 catalytic subunit alpha

Type of Gene: protein-coding
