bs-70031R

DATASHEET

Host: Rabbit

Target Protein: CaM Kinase II (Thr306)

Specificity: Specific for endogenous levels of the ~50 kDa α-CaM Kinase II and the ~60 kDa β-CaM Kinase II proteins phosphorylated at Thr306. Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase. It has been reported that this antibody may recognize some level of non-phosphorylated pure recombinant protein, but in our hands (as shown in our WB image) in native tissue, the antibody reacts in a phospho-specific manner.

Modification Site: Thr306

Clonality: Polyclonal

Isotype: IgG

Entrez Gene: 25400

Swiss Prot: P11310

Source: Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Thr306 of rat CaMKII, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).

Purification: Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Storage Buffer: 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Storage: Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Background:

Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II (CaM Kinase II) is a multifunctional calcium and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that mediates cellular responses to a wide variety of intercellular signals (Kennedy, 1998; Schulman and Hanson, 1993). CaM Kinase II has been shown to regulate diverse cellular functions including synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitter synthesis and release, gene expression, ion channel function, carbohydrate metabolism, cytoskeletal function, and Ca2+-homeostasis (Gleason et al., 2003; Soderling, 2000; Hudmon and Schulman, 2002). Phosphorylation of Thr-286 on the kinase produces an autonomously active form of CaM Kinase II (Meng et al., 2003; Picciotto et al., 1993). CaMKIIα autophosphorylation at Thr-286 and Thr-305/Thr-306 has recently been shown to regulate kinase activity and modulate subcellular targeting and is critical for normal synaptic plasticity and learning and memory (Baucum et al., 2015).
