Physical State: Liquid (sterile filtered)
Purity and Specificity: Recombinant full-length human CaMKPase was expressed in E. coli cells using an N-Terminal Glutathione-S-Transferase fusion protein. The purity was determined to be >80% by densitometry.
Background: CaMKPase is a member of the PP2C family of Ser/Thr protein phosphatases that dephosphorylate and regulate the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs) (1). The multifunctional CaMKs mediate cellular responses induced by increases in second messenger Ca2+ and have been implicated in the control of synaptic transmission, gene transcription, cell growth and contraction of cardiac and smooth muscles (2). Overexpression of CaMKPase has been shown to mediate caspase-dependent apoptosis. CaMKPase can also interact with the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (PIX) thereby blocking the effects of p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1). CaMKPase Protein is ideal to investigators involved in Signaling Proteins, Cellular Proteins, Cardiovascular Disease, ERK/MAPK Pathway, Neurobiology, Phosphatases, and PKA/PKC Pathway research.
