General description

Phosphorylase kinase contains four subunits each containing an α, β, γ, and sigma component. The sigma component binds 4 calcium molecules and is termed calmodulin while the γ unit acts as the catalytic subunit.

Application

Phosphorylase kinase from rabbit muscle has been used in a study to assess features of glycogen phosphorylase. It has also been used in a study to investigate the activation of different forms of muscle phosphorylase kinase by actin.

Unit Definition

One unit will form 1.0 μmolar unit of phosphorylase a from phosphorylase b per min at pH 7.7 at 30°C in the presence of ATP.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing (NH4)2SO4, sucrose, β-glycerophosphate and dithioerythritol

Aspects of the molecular interaction and subunit structure of rabbit skeletal muscle phosphorylase kinase, (alpha beta gamma delta)4, were investigated. Exogenous addition of the delta subunit (calmodulin) stimulated the activities of nonactivated phosphorylase kinase and the alpha gamma delta complex

Angiogenesis is essential for development and tumor progression. With the aim of identifying new compound inhibitors of the angiogenesis process, we used an established enhanced green fluorescent protein-transgenic zebrafish line to develop an automated assay that enables high-throughput screening of
