Ppp2ca - protein phosphatase 2 catalytic subunit alpha

Enables several functions, including beta-2 adrenergic receptor binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and protein C-terminus binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hormone stimulus; negative regulation of transport; and regulation of cellular protein metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within regulation of protein autophosphorylation; regulation of protein catabolic process; and regulation of signaling receptor activity. Located in cytosol; postsynaptic density; and terminal bouton. Part of protein phosphatase type 2A complex. Biomarker of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PPP2CA (protein phosphatase 2 catalytic subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
