Scientific Background: PP2B is a key regulator of the anaphase-promoting factor which is an excellent substrate for protein phosphatase. PP2B is involved in bovine ocular tissues and is postulated to be involved in the immunologic privilege of the cornea, in retinal signal transduction, and in the toxic effects of immunosuppressants on the eye. PP2B acts as an inhibitory constraint on I-LTP that is relieved by PKA, and that this inhibitory constraint acts as a gate to regulate the synaptic induction of L-LTP (1). PP2B plays a role in the transition from short- to long-term memory and also regulates bone formation through an effect on osteoblast differentiation (2).

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Function: Calcium-dependent, calmodulin-stimulated protein phosphatase. Many of the substrates contain a PxIxIT motif. This subunit may have a role in the calmodulin activation of calcineurin. Dephosphorylates DNM1L, HSPB1 and SSH1. Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.16
Catalytic activity: A phosphoprotein + H2O = a protein + phosphate.
Cofactor: Binds 1 Fe3+ ion per subunit.Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.
Subunit structure: Interacts with CHP1 and CHP2
By similarity. Composed of two components (A and B), the A component is the catalytic subunit and the B component confers calcium sensitivity. Interacts with CRTC2, MYOZ1, MYOZ2 and MYOZ3. Interacts with DNM1L; the interaction dephosphorylates DNM1L and regulates its translocation to mitochondria. Interacts with CMYA5; this interaction represses calcineurin activity in muscle
By similarity. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.13
Subcellular location: Nucleus
By similarity. Note: Colocalizes with ACTN1 and MYOZ2 at the Z line in heart and skeletal muscle
By similarity.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the PPP phosphatase family. PP-2B subfamily.

Product Notes
The PP2B ppp3ca (Catalog #AAA515423) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Sf9 insect cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The tag for this protein is GST tag!!Expression System||Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus!!Source Note||Recombinant full-length human PP2B was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells. AAA Biotech's PP2B can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PP2B ppp3ca 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 "PP2B, 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
