Protein : CAMK2A

Connectivity 73
Notes The product of this gene belongs to the Serine/Threonine protein kinases family, and to the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases subfamily. Calcium signaling is crucial for several aspects of plasticity at glutamatergic synapses. This enzyme is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The alpha chain encoded by this gene is required for hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) and spatial learning. In addition to its calcium-calmodulin (CaM)-dependent activity, this protein can undergo autophosphorylation, resulting in CaM-independent activity. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

EC Number 2.7.1.123

State calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIA isoform 1
calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIA isoform 2

State Description Transcript Variant: This variant (1) represents the longer transcript, and encodes the longer isoform 1.
Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an in-frame segment of the coding region, compared to variant 1. It encodes a shorter isoform (2), that is missing an internal segment compared to isoform 1.
