CaMKII alpha/delta polyclonal antibody

The product of CAMK2A (calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II alpha) belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinases family, and to the Ca (2+) /calmodulin-dependent protein kinases subfamily. Calcium signaling is crucial for several aspects of plasticity at glutamatergic synapses. This calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinase is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The alpha chain encoded by this gene is required for hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) and spatial learning. In addition to its calcium-calmodulin (CaM) -dependent activity, this protein can undergo autophosphorylation, resulting in CaM-independent activity. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for CAMK2A.
