title: Further comparison of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II from brain and calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase from skeletal muscle.
abstract: Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II was purified from rabbit brain and its properties were compared with those of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II from rat brain and calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle. Rabbit brain calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II was clearly distinguished from rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase kinase with respect to size, behavior on autophosphorylation, immunological cross-reactivity and peptide mapping, but was indistinguishable from rat brain calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in all respects examined. Thus, differences between calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and glycogen synthase kinase appear not to reflect a species difference but to reflect a tissue difference.
