Scientific Overview
Casein Kinase II (CK2) is a ubiquitous serine/threonine protein kinase composed of two catalytic (or ) subunits and two regulatory subunits. The subunit (CSNK2B) modulates substrate specificity, stability, and localization of the holoenzyme. CK2 participates in the regulation of cell cycle progression, apoptosis, DNA damage response, and transcription. Dysregulation of CK2 activity is frequently observed in cancer, making CSNK2B a relevant target for biomarker and mechanistic studies.
This Anti-Casein Kinase II Subunit Beta CSNK2B Antibody is suitable for:
- Western blot detection of endogenous and recombinant CSNK2B (~25 kDa)
- Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence localization of CK2 in tissues and cells
- Immunoprecipitation of CK2 complexes
- Studies of CK2 function in cell signaling, cell cycle, and apoptosis
- Research on CK2 in cancer biology and therapeutic targeting
Usage & Handling Guidance
Store at -20 C. Avoid repeated freezethaw cycles by preparing single-use aliquots. For Western blotting, typical dilutions range from 1:500 to 1:2000. For IHC/IF, optimize starting from 1:1001:500. Centrifuge briefly before use if necessary.
- Recommended applications: Western blot, IHC, IF, and IP
- Working dilution: Optimize empirically (commonly 1:5001:2000 for WB; 1:1001:500 for IHC/IF)
- Stability: Stable when stored frozen; aliquot to prevent repeated freezethaw
- Handling: Use in a clean environment; validate specificity with appropriate controls (e.g., knockdown or blocking peptide)
