PPP3CB

Chr 10

protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit beta

Also known as: CALNA2, CALNB, CNA2, PP2Bbeta

Enables several functions, including calmodulin binding activity; calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase activity; and protein phosphatase 2B binding activity. Involved in several processes, including calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; positive regulation of lysosome organization; and positive regulation of protein localization to nucleus. Located in cytosol. Part of calcineurin complex. Implicated in aortic valve stenosis. Biomarker of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and schizophrenia.

Interpreting a novel variant
This gene is strongly intolerant of loss-of-function variation in the population, so LoF variants warrant close attention. No curated mechanism annotation is available — see the mechanism card for the computational prediction and its caveats.Based on population constraint only.
