Protein phosphatase 2A.
Somewhat uninspiredly named by the laboratory of Philip Cohen, although I think that lab found so many of them they could be forgiven. First identified as protein phospatase 'Type II' in 1977 because it was the second off a gel of a muscle fraction.
Converted to latin numbers and subtyped by the time of casting into stone by an Science review in 1983.
