CaM Kinase II (Thr306) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II (CaM Kinase II) is a multifunctional calcium and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that mediates cellular responses to a wide variety of intercellular signals (Kennedy, 1998; Schulman and Hanson, 1993) . CaM Kinase II has been shown to regulate diverse cellular functions including synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitter synthesis and release, gene expression, ion channel function, carbohydrate metabolism, cytoskeletal function, and Ca2+-homeostasis (Gleason et al., 2003; Soderling, 2000; Hudmon and Schulman, 2002) . Phosphorylation of Thr-286 on the kinase produces an autonomously active form of CaM Kinase II (Meng et al., 2003; Picciotto et al., 1993) . CaMKIIα autophosphorylation at Thr-286 and Thr-305/Thr-306 has recently been shown to regulate kinase activity and modulate subcellular targeting and is critical for normal synaptic plasticity and learning and memory (Baucum et al., 2015) .

Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Thr306 of rat CaMKII, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) .

Applications

Purification

Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Concentration

Lot Dependent

Dilution

WB (1:300-5000)

Buffer

10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Modification

Phosphorylation

Storage Conditions

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~50 kDa α-CaM Kinase II and the ~60 kDa β-CaM Kinase II proteins phosphorylated at Thr306. Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase. It has been reported that this antibody may recognize some level of non-phosphorylated pure recombinant protein, but in our hands (as shown in our WB image) in native tissue, the antibody reacts in a phospho-specific manner.
