Cell localization:Cytoplasm.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 regµLatory subunit, that associates with a variety of regµLatory subunits. This gene encodes an alpha isoform of the catalytic subunit. [provided by RefSeq, JµL 2008],
