General description

The myristoylated form of CaMK IINtide (Cat. No. 208920). The peptide has been modified at the amino terminal lysine with the addition of three glycine residues and myristoylated to improve cell-permeability.
The myristoylated form of CaMK IINtide (Cat. No. 208920), a potent, specific inhibitor of Ca2+/Calmodulin kinase II (CaMK II) (IC50 = 50 nM for total and Ca2+-independent CaMK II activity). The peptide sequence corresponds to the inhibitory domain of the CaMK II inhibitory protein, CaMK IIN. Exhibits inhibitory activity across converged species, including rat brain, goldfish brain, and Drosophila (IC50 = 100-400 nM). Shown to completely inhibit the phosphorylation of GluR1 fusion protein at a concentration of 1 µM. Does not inhibit CaMK I, CaMK IV, CaMKK, PKA, or PKC. The peptide has been modified at the amino terminal lysine with the addition of three glycine residues and myristoylated to improve cell-permeability.

Synaptic plasticity, the process whereby neuronal connections are either strengthened or weakened in response to stereotyped forms of stimulation, is widely believed to represent the molecular mechanism that underlies learning and memory. The holoenzyme calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) plays

Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) plays a critical role in long-term potentiation (LTP), a well-established model for learning and memory through the enhancement of synaptic transmission. Biochemical studies indicate that CaMKII catalyzes a phosphotransferase (kinase) reaction of both itself (autophosphorylation)

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is arguably the most compelling cellular model for learning and memory. While the mechanisms underlying the induction of LTP ('learning') are well understood, the maintenance of LTP ('memory') has remained contentious over the last 20 years. Here
