Western blot of rat cortex lysate showing phosphospecific immunolabeling of the ~50k ɑ-subunit and ~60k β-subunit of the CaM Kinase II protein phosphorylated at Thr286.
Calcium/calmodulin kinase II (CaM Kinase II) is multi-functional calcium and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that mediates cellular responses to second messengers. Phosphorylation of Thr286 produces an autonomously active form of CaM Kinase II. The antibody was raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding the phosphorylated-Thr286 found in rat brain CaM Kinase II.1) Kennedy, M.

Immunogen
CaM Kinase II (Thr286) polyclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding the phosphorylated-Thr286 found in rat brain CaM Kinase II.

Tested Applications
WB
Antibody dilutions and tissue load should be based on tissue type and expected phosphorylation state. Western blots of rat brain lysates with phospho- and dephosphopeptide competition were used to establish the phospho-specificity of the antibody. Applications include Dot Blot (DB) and Western Blot (WB). Dot Blots and Western Blots performed with each lot and working dilutions internally tested under ideal conditions for DB and WB were 1:1000. Suitability for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has not been determined. Human, mouse, rat and Xenopus have 100% amino acid sequence identity with the antigen used to raise the antibody.:

Storage Instructions
For long term storage –80˚C is recommended, but shorter term storage at –20˚C is also acceptable as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to the presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for one year.
Storage Buffer
100 uL in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 ug per mL BSA and 50% glycerol.
