PKA Substrates

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of PKA Substrates for use in various applications. PKA Substrates are crucial tools for studying the activity and specificity of protein kinase A (PKA), an enzyme that plays a pivotal role in regulating a wide array of cellular processes, including metabolism, gene expression, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis. By providing specific substrates for PKA, researchers can measure its kinase activity and investigate the phosphorylation events mediated by this enzyme, which are essential for understanding its regulatory functions. In scientific research, PKA Substrates are utilized to explore the downstream signaling pathways activated by cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent PKA and to delineate the role of PKA in various physiological contexts. Researchers employ these substrates to study how PKA-mediated phosphorylation affects the function of target proteins and how these modifications influence cellular responses to external stimuli. Additionally, PKA Substrates are valuable in high-throughput screening assays for identifying potential inhibitors or activators of PKA, facilitating the discovery of new regulatory mechanisms and pathways. The use of PKA Substrates supports the development of experimental models that help explain the complex signaling networks controlled by PKA and their broader implications in cellular function and adaptation.
