Immunocytochemistry - Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-Calcineurin A antibody [EPR1670(2)] (AB252107)

Immunofluorescence staining of HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells lableing Calcineurin A with ab252107. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab252107 at 1/50 dilution (Red) and ab195887, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor®488), at 1/250 dilution (Green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (Blue).Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8). This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in HeLa cells fixed with 100% methanol (5 min).

Supplementary information

Calcineurin A also known as PPP3CA is a highly specific protein phosphatase with a pivotal role in cellular signaling. It has a molecular mass of approximately 59 to 61 kDa depending on the isoform. Calcineurin A expression occurs in various tissues including the brain immune cells and cardiac tissues. It acts as the catalytic subunit of the enzyme calcineurin and is important for its function.
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.

Calcineurin A is associated with cardiac hypertrophy and immunosuppressive conditions. In cardiac hypertrophy aberrant Calcineurin A activity leads to changes in heart muscle size and function. The protein also connects to the disorder of immunosuppression through its inhibition by drugs like cyclosporine which are used to prevent transplant rejection by targeting Calcineurin A. This inhibition blocks T-cell activation and provides therapeutic benefits in managing transplant patients.

Dephosphorylates transcription factor TFEB at 'Ser-211' following Coxsackievirus B3 infection, promoting nuclear translocation (PubMed : 33691586). Required for postnatal development of the nephrogenic zone and superficial glomeruli in the kidneys, cell cycle homeostasis in the nephrogenic zone, and ultimately normal kidney function (By similarity). Plays a role in intracellular AQP2 processing and localization to the apical membrane in the kidney, may thereby be required for efficient kidney filtration (By similarity). Required for secretion of salivary enzymes amylase, peroxidase, lysozyme and sialic acid via formation of secretory vesicles in the submandibular glands (By similarity). Required for calcineurin activity and homosynaptic depotentiation in the hippocampus (By similarity). Required for normal differentiation and survival of keratinocytes and therefore required for epidermis superstructure formation (By similarity). Positively regulates osteoblastic bone formation, via promotion of osteoblast differentiation (By similarity). Positively regulates osteoclast differentiation, potentially via NFATC1 signaling (By similarity). May play a role in skeletal muscle fiber type specification, potentially via NFATC1 signaling (By similarity). Negatively regulates MAP3K14/NIK signaling via inhibition of nuclear translocation of the transcription factors RELA and RELB (By similarity).
