CSNK2A2 (Casein kinase 2, alpha prime polypeptide)

Casein kinase II (CK2) is a constitutively active, ubiquitously expressed serine:threonine protein kinasethat is thought to have a regulatory function in cell proliferation, cell differentiation and apoptosis. CK2functions as a tetrameric complex consisting of two regulatory beta-subunits and two catalytic units (alphaand alpha') in a homomeric or heteromeric conformation. Whilst the alpha- and alpha'-subunits arecatalytically identical, proteins that regulate CK2, such as cdc2 and Hsp90, preferentially bind to thealpha and not the alpha'-subunit. CK2 can phosphorylate a number of key intracellular signaling proteinsimplicated in tumor suppression (p53 and PTEN) and tumorigenesis (myc, jun, NF-kappaB). CK2 is also thoughtto influence Wnt signaling via beta-catenin phosphorylation and the PI 3-K signaling pathway via thephosphorylation of Akt.\n\nApplications:\nWestern Blot: 1:500-1:2000\nFlow Cytometry: 1:200-1:400\nELISA: 1:10000\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only.
