Introduction
Casein kinase 2 (EC2.7.11.1) is a serine/threonine-selective protein kinase that functions as a tetramer composed of two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The alpha subunits contain the catalytic kinase domain. This kinase plays a role in various cellular processes, including cell cycle control, DNA repair, and the regulation of the circadian rhythm. Casein kinase 2 activity is known to be activated following the activation of the Wnt signaling pathway. A Pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein and Disheveled appear to mediate the connection between Wnt-mediated activation of the Frizzled receptor and the activation of casein kinase 2. Mice lacking casein kinase 2 alpha prime exhibit defects in the morphology of developing sperm.
Description
Recombinant human CSNK2A1, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 411 amino acids. It has a molecular weight of 47.3 kDa. This protein corresponds to the alpha subunit of Casein Kinase 2 and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
CSNK2A1 is supplied in a buffer consisting of 20mM Tris pH 8.0, 500mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, and 50% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep at 4°C. For long-term storage, freeze at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity is greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Casein kinase II subunit alpha, EC 2.7.11.1, CK II, CK2A1, CKII alpha, CSNK2A1, PKCK2, CSK21.
