This gene encodes the phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit.
Protein phosphatase 2A 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. This gene encodes an alpha isoform of the catalytic
subunit.
