Protein Phosphatase 1A Alpha Isoform (PPM1A), also known as Protein Phosphatase 2C Alpha (PP2C-alpha), is a member of the PP2C family of Ser/Thr protein phosphatases. These enzymes are critical in regulating various cellular processes by dephosphorylating target proteins, thus modulating their activity.
PPM1A is encoded by the PPM1A gene and is involved in the negative regulation of cell stress response pathways. It achieves this by dephosphorylating and inactivating MAP kinases and MAP kinase kinases, which are key players in cellular stress responses . The enzyme’s activity is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and preventing excessive stress responses that could lead to cell damage or death.
The mouse anti-human PPM1A antibody is a monoclonal antibody derived from hybridization of mouse SP2/O myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant human PPM1A . This antibody is used in various research applications, including Western blotting (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC-P), and immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence (ICC/IF) .
The mouse anti-human PPM1A antibody is widely used in scientific research to study the role of PPM1A in cellular processes. It helps in:
