Application

Autocamtide 2-related inhibitory peptide has been used:
  • To inhibit calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) action in virulent Theileria infected macrophages
  • To study its influence on oxidative stress associated with neural cell death after hypoxia-ischemia, using neonatal hippocampal slice cultures
  • To quench the phosphorylation of recombinant synGA (GTPase-activating protein) induced by CaMKII

Biochem/physiol Actions

Calmodulin kinase II facilitates the calcium-dependent L-type calcium channels. Autocamtide 2-related inhibitory peptide action does not influence cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate)-dependent protein kinase II, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV and protein kinase C. Increased expression of calmodulin kinase II is observed in structural heart disease, indicated by myocardial infarction. Thus, inhibition of calmodulin kinase II activity might serve as a protective effect against structural heart disease, as it is found to prevent cardiac hypertrophy, dilation and dysfunction.
Potent inhibitor of calmodulin-depentent protein kinase II.

A novel synthetic peptide AIP (autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide), a nonphosphorylatable analog of autocamtide-2, was found to be a highly specific and potent inhibitor of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-kinase II). It was 50 and 500 times more potent than CaMK-(281-302Ala286)
