---|---|
Primary Accession | P16298 |
Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Rat, Rabbit, Hamster, Bovine |
Host | Rabbit |
Clonality | Polyclonal |
Isotype | Rabbit IgG |
Calculated MW | 59024 Da |
Gene ID | 5532 |
---|---|
Application & Usage | Western Blotting (1-4 µg/ml) and for immunoprecipitation (10-20 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The immunoaffinity purified antibody detects a 61 kDa band, corresponding to the expected molecular weight of Calcineurin A on immunoblots. A 32 kDa band can also be detected in human samples, presumably to be the cleavage product of Calcineurin A.. |

Synonyms | CALNA2, CALNB, CNA2 |
Function | Calcium-dependent, calmodulin-stimulated protein phosphatase which plays an essential role in the transduction of intracellular Ca(2+)-mediated signals (PubMed:19154138, PubMed:25720963, PubMed:32753672, PubMed:26794871). Dephosphorylates TFEB in response to lysosomal Ca(2+) release, resulting in TFEB nuclear translocation and stimulation of lysosomal biogenesis (PubMed:25720963, PubMed:32753672). Dephosphorylates and activates transcription factor NFATC1 (PubMed:19154138). Dephosphorylates and inactivates transcription factor ELK1 (PubMed:19154138). Dephosphorylates DARPP32 (PubMed:19154138). Negatively regulates MAP3K14/NIK signaling via inhibition of nuclear translocation of the transcription factors RELA and RELB (By similarity). May play a role in skeletal muscle fiber type specification (By similarity). |

Background
Calcineurin is a calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine protein phosphatase. The active enzyme is a heterodimer consisting of a catalytic A subunit of 61 kDa and a myristylated regulatory B subunit of 19 kDa that binds calcium. The catalytic A subunit consists of an amino terminal catalytic domain, followed by calmodulin and B subunit binding sites, and a caboxyl-terminal autoinhibitory domain. Calnineurin is the target of immunosuppressant dr µgs such as cyclosporin A and FK506. Calcineurin controls the translocation of nuclear factors of activated T cells (NFAT), a family of transcriptional activators that control the expression of cytokine genes essential to immune response, from the cytosol into the nucleus of activated T cells. Calcineurin has been proposed to play an important role in mediating calcium-activated cell death.
