Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II represents one of the most abundant and functionally critical kinases in the central nervous system, serving as a master regulator of synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory formation. The CAMK2 family comprises four closely related isoforms—alpha, beta, gamma, and delta—each contributing to calcium-mediated signal transduction across diverse cellular contexts. Beyond neuronal function, these kinases participate in cardiac contractility, cell cycle regulation, and cytoskeletal dynamics, making them essential targets for researchers investigating neurodegenerative diseases, cardiac pathophysiology, and cancer biology.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 5A1, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Generated against a synthesized peptide encompassing conserved regions across human CAMK2A, CAMK2B, CAMK2G, and CAMK2D, this antibody enables simultaneous detection of multiple family members, providing a comprehensive view of CAMK2 expression patterns. The recombinant production platform ensures sequence-defined specificity and eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies.
Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates reliable performance in paraffin-embedded human glioma tissue, where the antibody successfully detected CAMK2 expression at 1:100 dilution using standard citrate-based antigen retrieval. This validation in brain tumor tissue is particularly relevant given the established roles of CAMK2 isoforms in glioma progression and neural tissue biology.
Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer optimized for long-term stability, this antibody supports researchers investigating synaptic signaling mechanisms, neurological disorders, and the emerging connections between calcium signaling and tumor biology.
