Rabbit Anti-PCP4/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
PCP-4 is a calmodulin (CaM) regulatory protein that is highly expressed in neuronal cells. Through its IQ motif, PCP-4 mediates both the calcium-dependent binding properties of CaM and the rates of association and dissociation of calcium from the SLCterminal domain of CaM. The IQ motif contains a serine residue which can be phosphorylated by all isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC). PCP-4 is implicated in uterine leiomyomas, as well as in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington's disease. Additionally, overexpression of PCP-4 is thought to play a role in cerebellar hypoplasia, a key feature of Down syndrome.
Function:
Probable regulator of calmodulin signaling.
Subunit:
Binds to both calcium-free and calcium activated calmodulin, affinity for calcium-bound form is 50-fold greater.
Similarity:
Belongs to the PCP4 family.
Contains 1 IQ domain.
