PPP2R5A polyclonal antibody

In eukaryotes, the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins on serine and threonine residues is an essential means of regulating a broad range of cellular functions, including division, homeostasis and apoptosis. A group of proteins that are intimately involved in this process are the protein phosphatases. In general, the protein phosphatase (PP) holoenzyme is a trimeric complex composed of a regulatory subunit, a variable subunit and a catalytic subunit. Four major families of protein phosphatase catalytic subunits have been identified, designated PP1, PP2A, PP2B (calcineurin) and PP2C. An additional protein phosphatase catalytic subunit, PPX (also known as PP4) is a putative member of a novel PP family. The PP2A family comprises subfamily members PP2Aα and PP2Aβ. The PP2A catalytic subunit associates with a variety of regulatory subunits. Regulatory subunits include PP2A-A-α and -A-β, PP2A-B-α and -B-β, PP2A-C-α and -C-β, PP2A-B56-α, -B56-β, -B56-γ and -B56-δ.

Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A 56 kDa regulatory subunit alpha isoform; PP2A B subunit isoform B'-alpha; PP2A B subunit isoform B56-alpha; PP2A B subunit isoform PR61-alpha; PR61alpha; PP2A B subunit isoform R5-alpha; PP2A-B56-α; PP2A-B56α; PP2A B56-α; PP2AB56α; PR61α; PP2A-B-PR61α

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .
