PP2A alpha Antibody (234529) [Alexa Fluor® 750] Summary

• Immunogen: E. coli-derived recombinant human PP2A-α catalytic subunit
  Trp209-Leu309
  Accession # P67775
• Specificity: Detects endogenous human, mouse, and rat PP2A in Western blots. Because PP2A-alpha and PP2A-beta catalytic subunits are identical in the region used for the immunogen, it is expected that both isoforms will be detected by the antibody.
• Isotype: IgG2b
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Rat
• Purity Statement: Protein A or G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Western Blot

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Protect from light. Do not freeze. 12 months from date of receipt, 2 to 8 °C as supplied

Background

Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) dephosphorylates serine and threonine residues in proteins. This ubiquitously expressed enzyme plays a critical role in modulating cell survival, growth factor responses, and neurotransmission. Phosphorylation near the C-terminus at Y307 of the catalytic subunit decreases the phosphatase activity of PP2A and reduces its ability to bind to proteins such as CD28 and the glutamate receptor GluR5. Phosphorylation of PP2A at Y307 is highest during M-phase and lowest during S-phase of the cell cycle. Transient PP2A phosphorylation at this site is also observed in growth factor-stimulated cells.
