Phospho CamKII Thr286 – Top-Cited Antibodies Series

Anti-Phospho Thr286 Calcium/Calmodulin Kinase II

Our CamKII thr286 antibody works great in ICC.

Human astrocytes (1×106 cells/ml) were cultured for 24h without treatment or with METH (10 μM), clade B gp120 (50 ng/ml), or clade C gp120 (50 ng/ml) alone or METH in combination with clade B or C gp120. After incubation, the cells were fixed, permeabilized, and stained for phospho-CaMK II (green) or GFPA (red) and DAPI (blue).

Involved in numerous signaling cascades, CamKII plays an important role in learning and memory.

​​Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM Kinase II) is a multi-functional calcium and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that transduces Ca2+ signals to several target proteins, including ion channels and transcription activators. CaM Kinase II has been shown to regulate diverse cellular functions including synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitter synthesis and release, gene expression, ion channel function, carbohydrate metabolism, cytoskeletal function, and Ca2+-homeostasis (Gleason et al., 2003; Soderling, 2000; Hudmon and Schulman, 2002). Phosphorylation of Thr-286 on the kinase produces an autonomously active form of CaM Kinase II which is required for various cellular functions including long-term potentiation (LTP) and spatial learning (Meng et al., 2003; Picciotto et al., 1993; Geis et al., 1998).

Western blots using our CamKII antibody show clean labeling of both the α and β subunits.

Western blot of rat brain lysate showing specific immunolabeling of the ~50 kDa α- and the ~60 kDa β-CaM Kinase II phosphorylated at Thr286 in the first lane (-). Phosphospecificity is shown in the second lane (+) where the immunolabeling is completely eliminated by blot treatment with lambda phosphatase (λ-Ptase, 1200 units for 30 minutes).

Lots of researchers published with our CamKII thr286 antibody last year!
