Casein Kinase 2 also called CK2 (also called PKCK2) is a ubiquitous Ser/Thr kinase expressed in all eukaryotes. CK2 is a tetramer composed of two catalytic kinase domains, alpha subunits, and two identical regulatory beta subunits. It has been implicated in cell cycle control, DNA repair, regulation of the circadian rhythm, and other cellular processes. The beta subunit itself does not have kinase activity, but confers stability to the CK2 alpha subunit and is involved in activity and substrate specificity.
CSNK2B Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 215 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 24.9kDa.
CK2 beta is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
