|---|---|
| Other Names | Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A activator, 5.2.1.8, PP2A, subunit B', PR53 isoform, Phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activator, PTPA, Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit 4, Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit B', PPP2R4, PTPA |
| Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence is selected from aa 3-15 of HUMAN PPP2R4 |
| Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |

| Name | PTPA (HGNC:9308) |

| Synonyms | PPP2R4 |
| Function | PPIases accelerate the folding of proteins. It catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides (By similarity). Acts as a regulatory subunit for serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) (PubMed:16916641, PubMed:36073231). Modulates PP2A activity or substrate specificity, probably by inducing a conformational change in the catalytic subunit, a proposed direct target of the PPIase (PubMed:16916641). Can reactivate inactive phosphatase PP2A-phosphatase methylesterase complexes (PP2A(i)) in presence of ATP and Mg(2+) (By similarity). Reversibly stimulates the variable phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity of PP2A core heterodimer PP2A(D) in presence of ATP and Mg(2+) (in vitro) (PubMed:16916641). The phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity is dependent of an ATPase activity of the PP2A(D):PPP2R4 complex (PubMed:16916641). Is involved in apoptosis; the function appears to be independent from PP2A (PubMed:17333320). |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
