Anti-CAMK2A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II alpha. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 478 amino acid residues and a mass of 54.1 kDa. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase protein family, CAMK2A is known to be involved with the transport of ions and peptidyl-serine phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include CaMKIINalpha, CaMKIIalpha, MRD53, MRT63, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit alpha, and CAMKA. CAMK2A gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Over 840 citations in the literature describe the use of Camk2a antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
