Anti-CAMKIV/Camk4 Antibody Picoband®

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type IV is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CAMK4 gene. The product of this gene belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family, and to the Ca (2+) /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subfamily. This enzyme is a multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinase with limited tissue distribution, that has been implicated in transcriptional regulation in lymphocytes, neurons and male germ cells.

C-C chemokine receptor type 1; C-C CKR-1; CC-CKR-1; CCR-1; CCR1; Macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha receptor; MIP-1alpha-R; RANTES-R; CD191; Ccr1; Cmkbr1

Receptor for a C-C type chemokine. Binds to MIP-1-alpha, RANTES, and less efficiently, to MIP-1-beta or MCP-1 and subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ions level. Responsible for affecting stem cell proliferation.
