Function

Calcium-dependent, calmodulin-stimulated protein phosphatase which plays an essential role in the transduction of intracellular Ca(2+)-mediated signals (PubMed:15671020, PubMed:18838687, PubMed:19154138, PubMed:23468591, PubMed:30254215). Many of the substrates contain a PxIxIT motif and/or a LxVP motif (PubMed:17498738, PubMed:17502104, PubMed:22343722, PubMed:23468591, PubMed:27974827). In response to increased Ca(2+) levels, dephosphorylates and activates phosphatase SSH1 which results in cofilin dephosphorylation (PubMed:15671020). In response to increased Ca(2+) levels following mitochondrial depolarization, dephosphorylates DNM1L inducing DNM1L translocation to the mitochondrion (PubMed:18838687). Positively regulates the CACNA1B/CAV2.2-mediated Ca(2+) release probability at hippocampal neuronal soma and synaptic terminals (By similarity). Dephosphorylates heat shock protein HSPB1 (By similarity). Dephosphorylates and activates transcription factor NFATC1 (PubMed:19154138). In response to increased Ca(2+) levels, regulates NFAT-mediated transcription probably by dephosphorylating NFAT and promoting its nuclear translocation (PubMed:26248042). Dephosphorylates and inactivates transcription factor ELK1 (PubMed:19154138). Dephosphorylates DARPP32 (PubMed:19154138). May dephosphorylate CRTC2 at 'Ser-171' resulting in CRTC2 dissociation from 14-3-3 proteins (PubMed:30611118). 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). Required for antigen-specific T-cell proliferation response (By similarity). Dephosphorylates KLHL3, promoting the interaction between KLHL3 and WNK4 and subsequent degradation of WNK4 (PubMed:30718414). Negatively regulates SLC9A1 activity (PubMed:31375679).

Notes

ab315409 is a BSA and Azide free antibody supplied in an unconjugated
format and it is suitable for sandwich ELISAs to quantify Human Calcineurin A.
The recommended pair for sandwich ELISA is:

Capture: ab315409, Human Calcineurin A Capture Antibody (unconjugated)

Detector: Anti-Calcineurin A antibody [EPR26649-78] - BSA and Azide free (Detector) ab315410, Human Calcineurin A Detector Antibody (unconjugated)

The reference range value is 0.16-10 ng/mL.

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization
for ELISAbased assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and
needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the
range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the
performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair.
Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific
characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in
sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic
range of the antibody in your assay.

Our carrier-free formats are supplied in a buffer free of BSA,
sodium azide and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of
1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. Use our conjugation
kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as
little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody
recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Activity summary

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.

Associated diseases and disorders

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.

    Sandwich ELISA of Human Calcineurin A Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free ab315408 with the capture antibody dilution at 2 µg/mL and detector antibody dilution at 0.5 µg/mL. Interpolated concentrations of native Calcineurin A in human control wild type HeLa cell and PPP3CA (Calcineurin A) knockout HeLa cell based on 50 µg/mL extract loads. The concentrations of Calcineurin A were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the Calcineurin A standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Calcineurin A concentration was determined to be 3.9 ng/mL in wild type HeLa extract (Human wild-type HeLa cell line ab255928) and 0.2 ng/mL in PPP3CA (Calcineurin A) knockout HeLa extract (Human PPP3CA (Calcineurin A) knockout HeLa cell line Human PPP3CA (Calcineurin A) knockout HeLa cell line ab265130).
