Syntide 2 – Other Categories

Syntide-2 is a substrate peptide which was specifically designed to be homologous to site 2 in glycogen synthase. Syntide-2 is therefore phosphorylated by Ca2+ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II as well as other calcium dependant kinases and protein kinase C. Synthase-2 can also be phosphorylated by CAMP-dependent protein kinase and to a lesser extent- phosphorylase kinase, but not by myosin light chain kinase.
