PPP3CB


Description

The PPP3CB (protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit beta) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 10.

Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2B catalytic subunit beta isoform (PP2BB) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PPP3CB gene.

PPP3CB encodes a calcium-dependent, calmodulin-stimulated protein phosphatase that plays a crucial role in transmitting intracellular calcium signals. It dephosphorylates TFEB in response to lysosomal calcium release, leading to TFEB nuclear translocation and stimulating lysosomal biogenesis. It also dephosphorylates and activates the transcription factor NFATC1, while inactivating transcription factor ELK1. Additionally, it dephosphorylates DARPP32 and negatively regulates MAP3K14/NIK signaling by inhibiting nuclear translocation of the transcription factors RELA and RELB. PPP3CB may also contribute to skeletal muscle fiber type specification.

PPP3CB is also known as CALNA2, CALNB, CNA2, PP2Bbeta.
