Ppp2r1b Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable protein phosphatase regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including meiotic sister chromatid cohesion, centromeric; positive regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand; and spindle assembly. Predicted to be located in membrane raft. Predicted to be part of protein phosphatase type 2A complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol; glutamatergic synapse; and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung cancer. Orthologous to human PPP2R1B (protein phosphatase 2 scaffold subunit Abeta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Ppp2r1b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
