Ppp2r2a Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables protein phosphatase 2A binding activity and tau protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein dephosphorylation and regulation of chromosome segregation. Predicted to act upstream of or within response to morphine. Predicted to be part of protein phosphatase type 2A complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol and glutamatergic synapse. Orthologous to human PPP2R2A (protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit Balpha). [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 Ppp2r2a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
