Protein phosphatase methylesterase 1 (PPME1) conducts the demethylation of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and leads to inactivation of the phosphatase (1). It is demonstrated that PPME1 binds directly to the active site of PP2A and evicts the manganese ions required for the phosphatase activity (2). PPME1 is also reported to protect ERK activity in human malignant glioma (3).

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein phosphatase methylesterase localized to the nucleus. The encoded protein acts on the protein phosphatase-2A catalytic subunit and supports the ERK pathway through dephosphorylation of regulatory proteins. It plays a role in malignant glioma progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]

Product Notes
The PPME1 (Catalog #AAA517405) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Sf9 insect cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's PPME1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Methyltrasferase Assay. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PPME1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PPME1, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
