Anti-PP2A-B55-beta

protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit Bbeta(PPP2R2B) Homo sapiens The product of this gene belongs to the phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit B family. 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 B regulatory subunit might modulate substrate selectivity and catalytic activity. This gene encodes a beta isoform of the regulatory subunit B55 subfamily. Defects in this gene cause autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia 12 (SCA12), a disease caused by degeneration of the cerebellum, sometimes involving the brainstem and spinal cord, and in resulting in poor coordination of speech and body movements. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, which encode different isofor Protein function: The B regulatory subunit might modulate substrate selectivity and catalytic activity, and also might direct the localization of the catalytic enzyme to a particular subcellular compartment. Within the PP2A holoenzyme complex, isoform 2 is required to promote proapoptotic activity. Isoform 2 regulates neuronal survival through the mitochondrial fission and fusion balance.

Mitochondrion . Mitochondrion outer membrane . Under basal conditions, localizes to both cytosolic and mitochondrial compartments. Relocalizes from the cytosolic to the mitochondrial compartment during apoptosis. Its targeting to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) involves an association with import receptors of the TOM complex and is required to promote proapoptotic activity (By similarity). .
