protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit Bbeta(PPP2R2B) Homo sapiens The product of this gene belongs to the phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit B family. Protein phosphatase 2 is one of the four major Ser/Thr phosphatases, and it is implicated in the negative control of cell growth and division. It consists of a common heteromeric core enzyme, which is composed of a catalytic subunit and a constant regulatory subunit, that associates with a variety of regulatory subunits. The B regulatory subunit might modulate substrate selectivity and catalytic activity. This gene encodes a beta isoform of the regulatory subunit B55 subfamily. Defects in this gene cause autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia 12 (SCA12), a disease caused by degeneration of the cerebellum, sometimes involving the brainstem and spinal cord, and in resulting in poor coordination of speech and body movements. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, which encode different isofor

Function:
Disease:Defects in PPP2R2B are the cause of spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 (SCA12) [MIM:604326]. Spinocerebellar ataxia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA12 is an autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA).,Function:The B regulatory subunit might modulate substrate selectivity and catalytic activity, and also might direct the localization of the catalytic enzyme to a particular subcellular compartment.,similarity:Belongs to the phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit B family.,similarity:Contains 7 WD repeats.,subunit:PP2A consists of a common heterodimeric core enzyme, composed of a 36 kDa catalytic subunit (subunit C) and a 65 kDa constant regulatory subunit (PR65 or subunit A), that associates with a variety of regulatory subunits. Proteins that associate with the core dimer include three families of regulatory subunits B (the R2/B/PR55/B55, R3/B''/PR72/PR130/PR59 and R5/B'/B56 families), the 48 kDa variable regulatory subunit, viral proteins, and cell signaling molecules.,tissue specificity:Brain.,

Under basal conditions, localizes to both cytosolic and mitochondrial compartments. Relocalizes from the cytosolic to the mitochondrial compartment during apoptosis. Its targeting to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) involves an association with import receptors of the TOM complex and is required to promote proapoptotic activity (By similarity). .
