特徴

• cAMP-dependent PKA is an ubiquitous serine/theonine protein kinase present in a variety of tissues (e.g. brain, skeletal muscle, heart). The intracellular cAMP level regulates cellular responses by altering the interaction between the catatytic C and regulatory R subunits of PKA. The inactive tetrameric PKA holoenzyme R2C2 is activated when cAMP binds to R2, which dissociates the tetramer to R2 cAMP 4 and two active catalytic subunits. Free Catalytic subunits of PKA can phosphorylate a wide variety of intracellular target proteins. In response to hormone- induced high cAMP levels, PKA phosphorylates glycogen synthetase (inhibition of the enzyme activity) and phosphorylase kinase to block glycogen synthesis. Different isoforms of catalytic and regulatory subunits suggest specific functions. The recombinant PKA regulatory subunit I a is a dimeric 90kD protein.
• Dimers and Aggregates:≤ 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
• Unit Definition:One unit is defined as the amount of recombinant PKA catalytic subunit alpha, required to incorporate 1nmol of phosphate into the specific substrate peptide kemptide (LRRASlG) in one minute at 30°C.
• Biological Activity:Recombinant Human PKA regulatory subunit alpha specifically inhibits PKA catalytic subunit (Ki about 0.1nM). Activity can be restored by adding cAMP (Kact about 100nM). The binding of the catalytic subunit is dependent on the presence of ATP and Mg.
• Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
