Product Summary for CaMKIV Antibody

Immunogen

This antiserum was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region near amino acids 300-325 of Human CaMKIV protein. (Uniprot: Q16566)

Reactivity Notes

A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein from human, mouse, and rat based on 100% homology for the immunogen sequence. Cross reactivity with CaMKIV homologues from other sources has not been determined.

Description

This antiserum is directed against human CaMKIV protein. The product was delipidated, defibrinated followed by buffering and clarification

Store vial at 4C prior to restoration. For extended storage aliquot contents and freeze at -20C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Scientific Data Images for CaMKIV Antibody

Western Blot: CaMKIV Antibody [NBP1-78002]

Western Blot: CaMKIV Antibody [NBP1-78002]

Western Blot: CaMKIV Antibody [NBP1-78002] - Shows detection of a band ~52 kDa corresponding to CaM Kinase IV (arrowhead) in various preparations: lane 1 - rat brain lysate, lane 2 - Jurkat cell lysate. Specific reactivity is blocked in both lysates when antibody is preincubated with immunizing peptide (lanes 3 and 4 respectively). Approximately 35 ug of each lysate was separated by 4-20% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose. CaM Kinase IV was similarly detected on lysates from mouse brain (not shown). After blocking the membrane was probed with the primary antibody diluted to 1:1,000 for 2h at room temperature followed by washes and reaction with a 1:10,000 dilution of IRDye800 conjugated Gt-a-Rabbit IgG [H&L] MX for 45 min at room temperature.
Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: CaMKIV Antibody [NBP1-78002]

Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: CaMKIV Antibody [NBP1-78002]

Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: CaMKIV Antibody [NBP1-78002] - Antibody was diluted 1:500 in human brain cortex tissue. Tissue was formalin fixed and paraffin embedded. No pre-treatment of sample was required. The image shows the localization of antibody as the precipitated red signal, with a hematoxylin purple nuclear counter stain.

Background: CaMKIV

CaM Kinase IV (also known as CAM kinase-GR and CaMK IV) is a calcium/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase belonging to a proposed calcium-triggered signaling cascade. This kinase may be involved in the transcriptional regulation of microtubule dynamics. In vitro, CaMK IV phosphorylates CREB1, CREBBP, PRM2, MEF2A, MEF2D and STMN1/OP18. CaMK IV may also be involved in spermatogenesis and may play a role in the consolidation/ retention of hippocampus-dependent long-term memory. CaMK IV must be phosphorylated to be maximally active and is phosphorylated by CAMKK1 or CAMKK2. In addition autophosphorylation of the N-terminus is required for full activation. Autophosphorylation of Ser-336 allows the kinase to switch to a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-independent state. Most likely the kinase is inactivated by the serine/ threonine protein phosphatase 2A. CaMK IV is a monomer that is located within the cytoplasm and nucleus and substantial localization occurs in certain neuronal nuclei. In spermatids CaMK IV is associated with chromatin and the nuclear matrix. CaMK IV is also specifically expressed in epithelial ovarian cancer tissue.
