Activity summary

PPP6C also known as Protein Phosphatase 6 Catalytic Subunit is a protein phosphatase which participates in dephosphorylation processes. It has a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa. PPP6C locates mainly in the cytoplasm but has also been found in the nucleus. Its expression is widespread across various tissues including the brain heart and skeletal muscle. PPP6C is important in controlling cellular functions by removing phosphate groups from target molecules influencing their activity state.

Biological function summary

The protein influences cell cycle regulation cell proliferation and apoptosis. This protein typically functions as part of a larger enzymatic complex that includes regulatory and scaffold subunits. By associating with these proteins PPP6C gains specificity towards its substrates and ensures precise cellular responses. Its activity helps maintain cellular homeostasis and proper cell growth and it also modulates immune response pathways by controlling phosphatase activity which is especially critical for immune system functioning.

Pathways

PPP6C interacts with key cellular signaling pathways such as the NF-kB and AKT pathways. During the regulation of these pathways PPP6C associates with proteins like IKK and PDK1 respectively which are important in mediating responses to external stimuli and regulating cell survival. Inhibition or dysregulation of PPP6C can impact these pathways leading to aberrant signaling and altered cellular outcomes. PPP6C's influence on these pathways highlights its role in fine-tuning cellular responses to diverse signals.

Associated diseases and disorders

PPP6C has connections to melanoma and multiple myeloma. Mutations affecting PPP6C may lead to abnormal protein function contributing to the development of these cancers. For example in melanoma alterations in PPP6C can disrupt cellular signaling pathways often in coordination with related proteins like BRAF and NRAS. Understanding these interactions and their effects on disease progression can provide insights into cancer therapeutics and the development of targeted treatments.
