PP2A-B72/B130 Activators are a class of chemical compounds that play a crucial role in cellular signaling pathways and the regulation of various cellular processes. These activators are specifically designed to interact with and modulate the activity of the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), which is a key enzyme involved in the dephosphorylation of proteins. PP2A-B72/B130 Activators are essential for maintaining the balance between phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events within cells, ultimately influencing cell function and behavior.
PP2A, composed of a catalytic subunit (C), a scaffolding subunit (A), and a regulatory subunit (B), is a heterotrimeric serine/threonine phosphatase known for its critical role in regulating the phosphorylation status of various proteins. The B subunits, including B72 and B130, are responsible for directing the enzyme to specific substrates and cellular locations. PP2A-B72/B130 Activators act as small molecules or compounds that bind to the regulatory B subunits of PP2A, leading to the activation of the phosphatase enzyme. This activation, in turn, results in the dephosphorylation of target proteins, affecting their activity and function.
