Impairment of phosphatase 2A contributes to the prolonged MAP kinase phosphorylation in Alzheimer's disease fibroblasts

The serine/threonine phosphatase 2A (PP2A) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to its important role in regulating dephosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. In the present study, we show that PP2A...
