Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Kemptide is a synthetic heptapeptide with the sequence LRRASLG, commonly used as a specific substrate for protein kinase A (PKA) in biochemical assays. Its bioactivity lies in its ability to be efficiently phosphorylated by PKA at the serine residue, allowing researchers to measure PKA activity in vitro. The mechanism of action involves mimicking natural PKA substrates, enabling quantitative assessment of kinase function in signal transduction studies.

Product Data
Biological target:
Kemptide is a synthetic heptapeptide that acts as a specific substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA).
In vitro activity:
Different types of intact cells catalyze the phosphorylation of Kemptide in the presence of extracellular ATP and cAMP with Km values of 3-4 microM for Kemptide. Kemptide phosphorylation was influenced by PKI, the inhibitory protein specific for cAMP-PK. Reference: J Biol Chem. 1989 Aug 25;264(24):14549-55. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2547801/
In vivo activity:
The specific activities of soluble A-kinase isolated from guinea-pig lung parenchyma and from bovine tracheal smooth muscle were significantly (12-16-fold) greater when Kemptide was used as substrate when compared to histone IIa. Reference: Biochem Pharmacol. 1990 Jan 15;39(2):271-83. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2154228/
