Calcineurin Substrate CAS NO.113873-67-9

<div class="ybc-p">Calcineurin Substrate (CAS NO. 113873-67-9) is a synthetic phosphopeptide designed as a specific and sensitive substrate for the Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine protein phosphatase, calcineurin (also known as Protein Phosphatase 2B, PP2B). This research-grade peptide contains a phosphorylated serine or threonine residue within a sequence specifically recognized and dephosphorylated by c…

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

This peptide functions as a direct biochemical substrate. It contains a phospho-serine/threonine residue that mimics a natural phosphorylation site on calcineurin's physiological targets (e.g., NFAT, DARPP-32). In the presence of active calcineurin, calcium, and calmodulin, the enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphate group from the peptide. This dephosphorylation reaction can be quantitatively measured using various detection methods (e.g., malachite green for free phosphate release, fluorescence, or absorbance change with coupled enzyme systems), providing a direct readout of calcineurin phosphatase activity.

 

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This product is indicated for fundamental biochemical and pharmacological research involving calcium signaling and protein dephosphorylation. Key applications include: quantitatively measuring calcineurin enzymatic activity in cell lysates, tissue extracts, or purified enzyme preparations; screening and characterizing inhibitors of calcineurin (e.g., cyclosporin A, FK506/tacrolimus) for drug discovery and immunology research; studying the regulation of calcineurin activity by Ca²⁺/calmodulin and other modulators; and as a standard tool in research on T-cell activation, neuronal signaling, and cardiac hypertrophy where calcineurin-NFAT signaling is pivotal.


3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

The Calcineurin Substrate peptide itself is not a therapeutic but a critical diagnostic and research reagent. Its "efficacy" is defined by its role in enabling the accurate measurement of calcineurin activity. This is directly applied in: 1) Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM): Assays using this substrate are fundamental for monitoring the pharmacodynamic effect of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) like tacrolimus and cyclosporin in transplant patients, ensuring optimal immunosuppression. 2) Drug Discovery: It is indispensable for screening and developing new immunosuppressive agents. 3) Disease Research: It aids in studying pathological calcineurin signaling in cardiac, neurological, and autoimmune disorders.
