Calcineurin A / FITC /
Product Details
| Description | Rabbit polyclonal to Calcineurin A (FITC). Calcineurin is a heterodimeric phosphatase protein, also known as calcium-dependent serine-threonine phosphatase. The structure consists of a catalytic subunit alpha, Calcineurin A (57-59KDa) the active site and a Ca2+ binding unit, Calcineurin B (19-20KDa) the regulatory subunit(1). Calcineurin plays a key role in the T-cell response growth and differentiation mechanism, regulating the activation of the Nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFATc) which are important in the expression of IL-2 genes. Calcineurin has been the target of inhibitors, the novel and structural immune-suppressants antifungal drugs(2). Genetic studies in yeast and fungi established the molecular basis of the inhibition mechanism by cyclosporine A and FK506.. | |

About Calcineurin A
Enables several functions, including ATPase binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; peptidyl-serine dephosphorylation; and response to calcium ion. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; dendritic spine; and nucleoplasm. Part of calcineurin complex. Colocalizes with cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 91. Biomarker of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and schizophrenia. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
