Product Overview:
Caldesmon is an actin-binding protein that regulates actin cytoskeleton organization and assembly in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells.{60237,60238} It is composed of an N-terminal myosin-binding domain, a central spacer region, and a C-terminal domain that contains binding sites for actin, as well as calmodulin and tropomyosin, and is subject to phosphorylation by a variety of kinases.{60237} Alternative splicing of the CALD1 pre-mRNA produces a heavy isoform, h-CaD, which is expressed by differentiated smooth muscle cells and localizes to actomyosin contractile structures, and a light isoform, l-CaD, which lacks the central spacer region and is expressed in non-muscle cells, where it localizes to podosomes and membrane ruffles.{60237,60238} Caldesmon regulates the interaction between actin and myosin, influencing cell contractility and cytoskeletal remodeling in an isoform- and cell-dependent manner.{60238} It inhibits the activity of actomyosin ATPase, an effect that is enhanced by tropomyosin and reversed by Ca2+-calmodulin or phosphorylation. Increased caldesmon protein expression has been found in patients with metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and is associated with poor prognosis.{60239} Cayman's Caldesmon (C-Term) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) applications.

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
