Autocamtide 2 (Autocamtide II) 是钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶 II (CaMKII) 的高选择性肽底物。
Autocamtide 2 is a highly selective peptide substrate of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). It can be used in the CaMKII activity assay.
The Ca/calmodulin dependent protein kinases (CaMKs) are multifunctional serine/threonine kinases whose activity are regulated through Ca2+ signaling. It is multifunctional best known for its critical role in learning and memory. Recent studies demonstrates that high levels of different isoform of CaMK, especially for CaMKII, expresses in several cancers such as lung, breast, prostate and colon cancer. CaMKII phosphorylates nearly 40 different proteins, including enzymes, ion channels, kinases, and transcription factors and plays a critical role in the regulation of proliferation, differentiation and survival of various cancer cells[1].
