CSNK2A2 antibody

Casein kinase I (also designated CKI) and casein kinase II (CKII) compose a family of serine/threonine protein kinases which are present in all eukaryotes examined to date. Casein kinase I family members, which include casein kinase Iå, I©, I∂ and Ie, have been implicated in the control of cytoplasmic and nuclear processes, including DNA replication and repair. CKII is usually expressed as a tetrameric complex consisting of either an å2∫2 or an åå'∫2 structure. The a catalytic subunit is stimulated by the ∫ regulatory subunit, which undergoes autophosphorylation. Casein kinase II activity is high in the cytosol and nucleus of proliferating and differentiating cells. Casein kinase II is known to phosphorylate more than 100 different substrates including nuclear oncoproteins, transcription factors and enzymes involved in DNA metabolism.
