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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Isoform Alpha KAP: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}. Cell junction, synapse, presynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, synapse {ECO:0000250}. Note=Postsynaptic lipid rafts. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Isoform Alpha CaMKII is expressed in brain while isoform Alpha KAP is expressed in skeletal muscle.
