Data (including data from studies in knockout/transgenic mice) suggest Ppp2ca supports cortical neuronal growth and cognitive function via regulating p73/Gls2 signal transduction in neurons of hippocampus. Ppp2ca gene knock-out results in embryonic cortical atrophy with learning/memory deficits. (Ppp2ca = protein phosphatase 2a catalytic subunit alpha isoform; p73 = transformation related protein 73; Gls2 = glutaminase-2)

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
