Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human CaMK4 around the phosphorylation site of Thr196/200. AA range:166-215
Specificity
Phospho-CaMKIV (T200) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of CaMKIV protein only when phosphorylated at T200.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/100 - 1/300. Immunofluorescence: 1/200 - 1/1000. ELISA: 1/40000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
The product of this gene belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family, and to the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subfamily. This enzyme is a multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinase with limited tissue distribution, that has been implicated in transcriptional regulation in lymphocytes, neurons and male germ cells.

Function
catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,enzyme regulation:Activated by Ca(2+)/calmodulin. Binding of calmodulin may releave intrasteric autoinhibition. Must be phosphorylated to be maximally active. Phosphorylated by CAMKK1 or CAMKK2. Autophosphorylation of the N-terminus is required for full activation. In part, activity is independent on Ca(2+)/calmodulin and autophosphorylation of Ser-336 allows to switch to a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-independent state (By similarity). Probably inactivated by serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2A.,function:Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase belonging to a proposed calcium-triggered signaling cascade. May be involved in transcriptional regulation. May be involved in regulation of microtubule dynamics. In vitro, phosphorylates CREB1, CREBBP, PRM2, MEF2A, MEF2D and STMN1/OP18. May be involved in spermatogenesis. May play a role i
