The Casein Kinase II alpha Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect Casein Kinase II alpha protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of Casein Kinase II alpha in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Casein Kinase II alpha.

Qualitative determination of Casein Kinase II alpha concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Casein Kinase II alpha is captured by Casein Kinase II alpha-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1. A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2. Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.

UniProt Protein Function:CK2A1: an ubiquitous protein kinase of the CK2 family. Exists as a tetramer composed of two catalytic subunits, alpha and alpha-prime, and two regulatory beta subunits. The beta subunits undergo autophosphorylation. The isoforms are rarely specified in publications. Two splice variant isoforms have been found. Participates in Wnt signaling. Phosphorylates E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBC3B inducing its interaction with beta-TRCp and enhancing beta-catenin degradation. May control IkB-alpha and p27Kip1 degradation. component of a CK2-SPT16-SSRP1 complex composed of SSRP1, PT16 CK2-A1, CK2-A2 and CK2-B the complex associating following UV irradiation. Interacts with RNPS1. Mouse transgene causes mammary gland hyperplasia and lymphoma, and activation by bovine parasites leads to fatal lymphoproliferation. Expression and activity are elevated in lung tumors and breast tumors. Antisense drives apoptosis of tumor cell lines and xenografts. Involved in DNA break repair by phosphorylation of scaffold protein XRCC1, phosphorylation of BRCA1, and phosphorylation of p53 in response to UV irradiation. Drosophila CK2 (Timekeeper) is involved in circadian regulation. Phosphorylates and binds to a major component of the inclusion bodies seen in Parkinson?s patients. Inhibitors: 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB).

NCBI Summary:Casein kinase II is a serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates acidic proteins such as casein. It is involved in various cellular processes, including cell cycle control, apoptosis, and circadian rhythm. The kinase exists as a tetramer and is composed of an alpha, an alpha-prime, and two beta subunits. The alpha subunits contain the catalytic activity while the beta subunits undergo autophosphorylation. The protein encoded by this gene represents the alpha subunit. While this gene is found on chromosome 20, a related transcribed pseudogene is found on chromosome 11. Three transcript variants encoding two different proteins have been found for this gene.

StepProcedure
1.Seed 200 µL of 20,000 adherent cells in culture medium in each well of a 96-well plate. The plates included in the kit are sterile and treated for cell culture. For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37°C prior to adding cells.
2.Incubate the cells for overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2.
3.Treat the cells as desired.
4.Remove the cell culture medium and rinse with 200 µL of 1x TBS, twice.
5.Fix the cells by incubating with 100 µL of Fixing Solution for 20 minutes at room temperature. The 4% formaldehyde is used for adherent cells and 8% formaldehyde is used for suspension cells and loosely attached cells.
6.Remove the Fixing Solution and wash the plate 3 times with 200 µL 1x Wash Buffer for five minutes each time with gentle shaking on the orbital shaker. The plate can be stored at 4°C for a week.
