This gene encodes a constant regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2. Protein phosphatase 2 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. The constant regulatory subunit A serves as a scaffolding molecule to coordinate the assembly of the catalytic subunit and a variable regulatory B subunit. This gene encodes an alpha isoform of the constant regulatory subunit A. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010] CIViC Summary for PPP2R1A Gene
Forensic Context
A study in zebrafish and mouse demonstrated that the PPP2R1A transcript, a protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit A involved in embryonic epidermal development and cancer, showed increased abundance within 1 hour postmortem in mouse tissues [Pozhitkov et al. DOI:10.1098/rsob.160267].
