Cellular Calcineurin Assay using Mouse brain.
Phosphatase activity from a freshly prepared Mouse brain extract. Prior to gel filtration the extract was diluted 1/1 in lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors. After gel filtration and prior to the phosphatase assay, the extract was diluted 1/25 in lysis buffer. The reaction was incubated for 30 min at 30°C.

Purified calcineurin positive control. The Calcineurin was incubated 1 hr at 30°C under various buffer conditions. The results demonstrate that Calcineurin activity is inhibited by the EGTA buffer, but not inhibited by 100 nM or 500 nM concentrations of okadaic acid.

Product details
Calcineurin Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) ab139464 is designed for measuring cellular calcineurin (CaN, PP2B) phosphatase activity. It employs a convenient 96-well microtiter-plate format with all reagents necessary for measuring calcineurin (PP2B) phosphatase activity in tissue/cellular extracts.
The detection of free-phosphate released in the calcineurin assay protocol is based on the classic Malachite green assay and offers the following advantages: non-radioactive; convenient 1-step detection; excellent sensitivity.
This kit includes human recombinant calcineurin as a positive control. The RII phosphopeptide substrate (Calcineurin Substrate), supplied with this calcineurin assay, is the most efficient and outstanding peptide substrate known for calcineurin.

Biological function summary
Calcineurin A participates in numerous cellular processes through its phosphatase activity. As part of the calcineurin complex which includes a regulatory subunit it modulates the dephosphorylation of target proteins. This activity enables Calcineurin A to influence activation of T-lymphocytes by dephosphorylating the nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) a transcription factor responsible for immune response. Calcineurin A also plays a role in neuronal signaling and muscle function.
Pathways
Calcineurin A engages in the calcium signaling pathway which is vital for diverse cellular functions. It is related to proteins like calmodulin which binds calcium ions to activate Calcineurin A. Another important pathway includes the MAPK signaling pathway where Calcineurin A influences various cellular outcomes by regulating different transcription factors. Through these pathways Calcineurin A integrates signals that affect cellular growth survival and differentiation.
