Product details:
Human CAMK2B ELISA Kit (ab234572) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of CAMK2B protein in cell culture extracts and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human CAMK2B with 1.28 ng/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

CaMKII beta also called CaM-K 2B is a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase involved in many cellular processes. It is known for its molecular weight of approximately 73 kDa. Expressed widely in tissues CaMKII beta is particularly important in brain and heart tissues. CaMKII family which includes CaMK plays a role in catalyzing the phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues in proteins influencing varied cellular activities.
Biological function summary
Without referring directly to CaMKII beta this protein contributes to synaptic plasticity which influences learning and memory in neural cells. It functions as part of a multimeric complex forming a holoenzyme with other CaMKII isoforms like CaMKII alpha gamma and delta. The structural dynamics of its autophosphorylation regulate its prolonged activity independent of calcium and calmodulin affecting downstream signaling.
Pathways
Without directly mentioning CaMKII beta it is essential in the Ca2+/calmodulin signaling pathway critical for regulating neuronal activity. Additionally this kinase participates in the cardiac conduction system influencing the heartbeat. Related proteins like calcineurin and protein kinase A interact in these signaling pathways amplifying the role of CaMKII beta in translating calcium bursts into longer-term cellular responses.
Without direct mention CaMKII beta's involvement is evident in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and arrhythmias. In neurodegenerative diseases its deregulation affects the balance of phosphorylation involving proteins like tau which contribute to disease progression. In cardiac disorders its role in arrhythmias interacts with ion channels affecting heart rhythm stability. Understanding these interactions helps in therapeutic approaches targeting CaMKII beta-related pathways.
