PP2A-Aα Antibody (5H4) is a rat monoclonal IgM antibody that detects PP2A-Aα in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP). PP2A-Aα is a crucial regulatory subunit of the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex, which plays a vital role in cellular signaling pathways by dephosphorylating serine and threonine residues on target proteins. This dephosphorylation is essential for regulating various cellular functions, including cell division, apoptosis, and maintaining cellular homeostasis. The PP2A complex consists of a catalytic subunit and regulatory subunits, with PP2A-Aα serving as one of the key regulatory components that modulate catalytic subunit activity. PP2A-Aα interaction with associated proteins is critical for PP2A holoenzyme assembly and stability, influencing substrate specificity and overall function. Understanding PP2A-Aα dynamics and interactions helps elucidate signal transduction mechanisms and potential implications in various diseases, including cancer, where dysregulation of phosphatase activity can lead to aberrant cell growth and survival.
