Gene: PPP1CB
Alternate names for this Gene: HEL-S-80p|MP|NSLH2|PP-1B|PP1B|PP1beta|PP1c|PPP1CD|PPP1beta
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is one of the three catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). PP1 is a serine/threonine specific protein phosphatase known to be involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular processes, such as cell division, glycogen metabolism, muscle contractility, protein synthesis, and HIV-1 viral transcription. Mouse studies suggest that PP1 functions as a suppressor of learning and memory. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
