Cancer tissues were generally negative. Several cases of colorectal, thyroid, skin and testicular cancers exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. A few testicular cancers showed nuclear staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PPP1R12B (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MGC131980, MGC87886, MYPT2, PP1bp55
Description
Protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 12B (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Myosin phosphatase is a protein complex comprised of three subunits: a catalytic subunit (PP1c-delta, protein phosphatase 1, catalytic subunit delta), a large regulatory subunit (MYPT, myosin phosphatase target) and small regulatory subunit (sm-M20). Two isoforms of MYPT have been isolated--MYPT1 and MYPT2, the first of which is widely expressed, and the second of which may be specific to heart, skeletal muscle, and brain. Each of the MYPT isoforms functions to bind PP1c-delta and increase phosphatase activity. This locus encodes both MYTP2 and M20. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. Related pseudogenes have been defined on the Y chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
