CaMKII alpha/CAMK2A Protein, Human, Recombinant (GST Tag)

Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase2A (CAMK2A) belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family and, together with other 28 different isoforms, belongs to the Ca/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subfamily. CaM kinase II is thought to be an important mediator of learning and memory and is also necessary for Cahomeostasis and reuptake in cardiomyocytes chloride transport in epithelia, positive T-cell selection, and CD8 T-cell activation. CAMKIIA is one of the major forms of CAMKII. It has been found to play a critical role in sustaining activation of CAMKII at the postsynaptic density. Studies have found that knockout mice without CAMKIIA demonstrate a low frequency of LTP. Additionally, these mice do not form persistent, stable place cells in the hippocampus.

Supplied as sterile 50mM Tris, 100mM NaCl, 0.5mM PMSF, 0.5mM Reduced Glutathione, pH 8.0 Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant human CAMK2A/GST chimera consists of 703 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 80.3 kDa. It migrates as an approximately 80 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

Kinases are highly recommended to be shipped at frozen temperature with blue ice or dry ice. Shipment made at ambient temperature may seriously affect the activity of the ordered products. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
