CALP2
Based on 1 Customer Validation
CALP2 is a calmodulin (CaM) antagonist ( (Kd of 7.9 µM)) with high affinity for binding to the CaM EF-hand/Ca2+-binding site. CALP2 inhibits CaM-dependent phosphodiesterase activity and increases intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. CALP2 potently inhibits of adhesion and degranulation. CALP2 is also a strong activator of alveolar macrophages.

Ca2+ Staining Technique
Ca2+ staining is an experimental technique that utilizes specific fluorescent probes (such as Fluo-4 AM, Fura-2, etc.) to qualitatively or quantitatively detect dynamic changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations; this is achieved by monitoring the changes in fluorescent signals generated when these probes bind to free intracellular calcium ions. The underlying principle relies primarily on the presence of chelating groups within the probe's molecular structure that possess high affinity for calcium ions.
