CAMK2G calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II gamma

Gene ID: 818, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CAMK; CAMKG; MRD59; CAMK-II

Summary

The product of this gene is one of the four subunits of an enzyme which belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family, and to the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subfamily. Calcium signaling is crucial for several aspects of plasticity at glutamatergic synapses. In mammalian cells the enzyme is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The product of this gene is a gamma chain. Many alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described but the full-length nature of all the variants has not been determined.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
