Anti-CamKII subunit alpha, Thr253 Antibody

Calcium/calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase II (CaMKII) is composed of four different chains (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) and is abundantly expressed in neurons. CaMKII is involved in regulating many aspects of neuronal function, including neurotransmitter synthesis and release, modulation of ion channel activity and cellular transport. The enzymatic function of CaMKII is regulated by its multiple phosphorylation sites and targeting to sub-cellular locations through interactions with protein binding partners. Phosphorylation of Thr253 has been identified in vivo and found to alter the interaction of CaMKII with binding partners, but not change its enzymatic activity. Thus, phosphorylation of Thr253 is suggested to modulate functional responses based on its binding partner and subsequently its sub-cellular localization.

Our Anti-Phospho-calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit alpha, Thr253 (alpha-CaMKII, Thr253) rabbit polyclonal primary antibody detects rat Phospho-calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit alpha, Thr253 (alpha-CaMKII, Thr253), and is whole serum. It is validated for use in WB.

A synthetic peptide (NKmLpTINPSC) corresponding to the sequence around Thr253 (AA 249-257) in alpha-CaMKII was synthesized, purified to 95% purity by HPLC, analyzed by mass spectroscopy and coupled to diphtheria toxoid.

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 100 uL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. After reconstitution of lyophilized antibody, aliquot and store at -20°C for a higher stability. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
