General annotation (Comments)

Function

CaM-kinase II (CAMK2) is a prominent kinase in the central nervous system that may function in long-term potentiation and neurotransmitter release. Member of the NMDAR signaling complex in excitatory synapses it may regulate NMDAR-dependent potentiation of the AMPAR and synaptic plasticity. Ref.8

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Enzyme regulation

Autophosphorylation of Thr-286 allows the kinase to switch from a calmodulin-dependent to a calmodulin-independent state.

Subunit structure

CAMK2 is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The different isoforms assemble into homo- or heteromultimeric holoenzymes composed of 8 to 12 subunits. Interacts with BAALC, MPDZ, SYN1, CAMK2N2 and SYNGAP1. Ref.5 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9

Subcellular location

Cell junctionsynapsepresynaptic cell membrane. Cell junctionsynapse. Note: Postsynaptic lipid rafts. Ref.9

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CaMK subfamily.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
