Overview

This product has been discontinued.





Calmodulin (CaM) purified from porcine brain and labeled with rhodamine-NHS ester. CaM is a ubiquitous, calcium-binding protein that interacts with and regulates a wide variety of proteins, thus affecting different cellular functions and calcium-calmodulin-dependent signaling pathways. CaM mediates several biological processes, such as inflammation, metabolism, apoptosis, muscle contraction, intracellular movement, short-term and long-term memory, nerve growth, and the immune response. Useful for enzyme activation, CaM binding studies, and general assessment of CaM-dependent signaling pathways. Rhodamine/Protein Ratio: 0.5-1.0 as determined by absorbance.
