Syntide-2 is a synthetic peptide substrate for Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent Protein Kinase II (CaMKII) derived from the phosphorylation site 2 in glycogen synthase. it is also a poor substrate for phosphorylase kinase and is not phosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase. The relative Vmax/Km ratios of the petide for different kinases are 100 for CaMK II. 22 for PKC. 2 for phosphorylase kinase. and 0.5 for myosin light chain kinase. respectively. |
