CAMK2N2 calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II inhibitor 2

Gene ID: 94032, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CAMKIIN; CAM-KIIN

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is highly similar to the rat CaM-KII inhibitory protein, an inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMKII). CAMKII regulates numerous physiological functions, including neuronal synaptic plasticity through the phosphorylation of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid-type glutamate (AMPA) receptors. Studies of the similar protein in rat suggest that this protein may function as a negative regulator of CaM-KII and may act to inhibit the phosphorylation of AMPA receptors.
