Calcium / calmodulin-dependent kinases (CaMKs) are a subfamily of the serine/threonine protein kinase family that includes CaMKI, CaMKII, and CaMKIV. There have been identified multiple substrates for CaMKI, including synapsin 1, synapsin 2, CREB, and CFTR, and its activation is dependent upon phosphorylation of Thr 177 by CaMK kinase (CaMKK). Studies suggest that CaMKI plays an important role in retinal function and its expression is regulated by light stimulation.
Positive Control: AtT20 cell extract.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
