General description
Calcineurin (CaN)(heterodimeric enzyme) is a Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-stimulated protein phosphatase 3 (PPP3) consisting of a catalytic A subunit (CnA) and a Ca2+-binding regulatory B subunit (CnB). The calcium-binding regulatory subunit (calcineurin B) is coded by the PPP3R1 gene located on human chromosome 2. Protein phosphatase 3, regulatory subunit B, α (PPP3R1) is also known as CALN, CCN1, CNA1, CALNA, PPP2B and CALNA1. The regulatory subunit calcineurin B is widely expressed in brain while the catalytic subunit (calcineurin A) is abundantly expressed in Hassall′s corpuscles, localized in the thymic medulla and represents the terminal stages of thymic medullary epithelium.
Monoclonal Anti-Calcineurin (α-subunit) (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the CN-A1 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from immunized BALB/c mice.
Specificity
In immunoblotting, the product recognizes an epitope located on the α-subunit of calcineurin (61 kDa, also called calcineurin A) and does not cross-react with the β-subunit.
Immunogen
bovine brain calcineurin
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Calcineurin (α-Subunit) antibody produced in mouse has been used in:enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) ,immunohistochemistry, western blotting
Biochem/physiol Actions
Calcineurin is a major soluble calmodulin-binding protein in the brain. It stimulates the expression of the surface molecules CD83, CD80, CD86, CD40 and HLA-DR by promoting secretion of inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β by human PBMC-derived dendritic cells. It plays an important role in signal transduction, activation of T cell. Calcineurin is an excellent marker enzyme for the detection of neuronal activity and synaptic plasticity after brain damage.

Although calcineurin is abundantly expressed in the nervous system and involved in neurite extension and synaptic plasticity in neurons, little is known about its roles in glial cells. To investigate the roles of calcineurin in glial cells, we generated glial

Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and strength which occurs with aging. Whether the molecular basis of sarcopenia differs with muscle type and across sex is not well understood. Here we examine how aging affects the regulation of protein

Synaptotagmins are membrane proteins that possess tandem C2 domains and play an important role in regulated membrane fusion in metazoan organisms. Here we show that both synaptotagmins I and II, the two major neuronal isoforms, can interact with the syntaxin/synaptosomal-associated

While changes in gene expression are critical for many brain functions, including long-term memory, little is known about the cellular processes that mediate stimulus-transcription coupling at central synapses. In studying the signaling pathways by which synaptic inputs control the phosphorylation

Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by an abnormal expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat in the huntingtin protein. Insulin-like growth factor-1 acting through the prosurvival kinase Akt mediates the phosphorylation of huntingtin at S421 and inhibits the toxicity of polyQ-expanded huntingtin in
