Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nCaMKII is an important member of the calcium\/calmodulin-activated protein kinase family, functioning in neural synaptic stimulation and T cell receptor signaling (1,2). CaMKII has catalytic and regulatory domains. Ca \/calmodulin binding to the CaMKII regulatory domain relieves autoinhibition and activates the kinase (3). The activated CaMKII further autophosphorylates at Thr286 to render the kinase constitutively active (3). The threonine phosphorylation state of CaMKII can be regulated through PP1\/PKA. PP1 (protein phosphatase 1) dephosphorylates phospho-CaMKII at Thr286. PKA (protein kinase A) prevents phospho-CaMKII (Thr286) dephosphorylation through an inhibitory effect on PP1 (4).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\ncalcium\/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II alpha; calcium\/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) II alpha; calcium\/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II; calcium\/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha; calcium\/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha-B subunit; calcium\/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II alpha chain; Calcium\/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit alpha; calmodulin-dependent kinase II; CaM kinase II alpha subunit; CaM kinase II subunit alpha; CaM-kinase II alpha chain; CaMK-II alpha subunit; CaMK-II subunit alpha; CAMK2A; CAMKA; CaMKII; CaMKIIalpha; CaMKIINalpha; KCC2A; KIAA0968; MRD53; MRT63\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 50\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800985882793,"sku":"3357S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-3357s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
