Peptide Name: KinSub1RPRSP
Product Use: For assaying the phosphotransferase activity of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2, UniProt ID Q96RR4). The KinSub1RPRSP peptide demonstrated moderate phosphotransferase activity with CaMKK2, and exhibited very high specificity when assayed with over 200 other protein kinases. A listing of other kinases that show appreciable phosphotransferase activity towards this peptide are listed in Table 1.
Peptide Production Method: Solid-phase peptide synthesis
Peptide Origin: KinSub1RPRSP was originally identified using a microarray with peptides that were predicted as optimal substrates for 500 human protein kinases with a proprietary algorithm developed at Kinexus with our academic partners.

Scientific Background: CaMKK2 is one of several protein kinases that can phosphorylate KinSub1RPRSP. Human CaMKK2 is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of 588 amino acid length, with a predicted molecular mass of 64,732 Da. It is a member of the Other group of protein kinases in the CAMKK family, and Meta subfamily. This kinase is highly expressed and widely distributed in most tested human tissues. It is broadly distributed in tissues with highest levels in brain, thymus, spleen, and testis (1). Orthologues of CaMKK2 are amongst the most highly conserved protein kinases in animals, plants, fungi and unicellular eukaryotes. CaMKK2 is activated by Ca2+/calmodulin and inhibited following phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). CaMKK2 undergoes intramolecular autophosphorylation, is regulated by Ca2+/calmodulin and phosphorylates CaMK1 and CaMK4 on Thr-177 and Thr-200, respectively. CaMKK2 also phosphorylates and regulates the activity of AMPK, which is an important regulator of cellular metabolism in response to metabolic stress (2). CaMKK2 has been linked with the development of colorectal adenocarcinomas and lung neuroendocrine carcinomas.
