OverviewNCBI Gene

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 an alpha isoform of the regulatory subunit B55 subfamily. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PPP2R2A can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PPP2R2A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PPP2R2A could matter depends on whether native PPP2R2A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PPP2R2A is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PPP2R2A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
