PP2Cε Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is a magnesium or manganese-requiring phosphatase that is involved in several signaling pathways. The encoded protein downregulates apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1, a protein that initiates a signaling cascade that leads to apoptosis when cells are subjected to cytotoxic stresses. This protein also is an endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein that helps regulate ceramide transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Finally, this gene may be involved in adiposity since it is upregulated in adipose tissues. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015], catalytic activity:A phosphoprotein + H (2) O = a protein + phosphate., cofactor:Binds 2 magnesium or manganese ions per subunit., function:Acts as a suppressor of the SAPK signaling pathways by associating with and dephosphorylating MAP3K7/TAK1 and MAP3K5, and by attenuating the association between MAP3K7/TAK1 and MAP2K4 or MAP2K6., similarity:Belongs to the PP2C family., similarity:Contains 1 PP2C-like domain., subunit:Interacts with MAP3K7/TAK1 (By similarity) . Interacts with MAP3K5., tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas.
