Summary

Automatic Translation

This publication presents a protocol showing how to measure the activity of recombinant protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) in response to recombinant α-synuclein, β-synuclein, or γ-synuclein proteins using a simple colorimetric assay. We show findings regarding α-synuclein specificity toward PP2Ac in mouse brain.
