Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab109412 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab109412, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab109412).

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.
