General description

The Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase family includes CaM Kinases I through IV, Phosphorylase Kinase, and MLCK. The CaM Kinases are inactive in the absence of stimuli; binding to Ca2+/Calmodulin induces conformational changes and activation. CaM Kinases have broad substrate specificity, with many cellular functions.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of Rat CaMK II

Epitope: N-terminus

Linkage

Replaces: AB3111

Physical form

Affinity purified

Purified rabbit polyclonal IgG in buffer containing borate buffered saline and phosphate buffered saline containing 0.05% sodium azide.

Quality

Routinely evaluated by Western Blot on HEK293 lysates.

Western Blot Analysis:
1:500 to 1:1,000 dilution of this lot detected CaM Kinase II on 10 µg of HEK293 lysates.

Specificity

Recognizes proteins of 50-72 kDa, corresponding to apparent molecular mass of CaMKII isoforms on SDS-PAGE immunoblots. Recombinant rat calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II α subunits expressed in sf9 insect cells are also detected. As the sequences of the rat α, δ, and γ isoforms are conserved over this amino terminus region, this antibody is expected to recognize the δ, γ, and α isoforms. Antibody is not expected to cross-react with the β isoform. Proteins of unknown identity may be detected on immunoblot analysis with some lysates (40, 45 and 90 kDa).

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C in undiluted aliquots from date of receipt. For optimal storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or -70°C.
Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
