    Summary
    Enables calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity; calmodulin binding activity; and glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including peptidyl-threonine autophosphorylation; regulation of endocannabinoid signaling pathway; and regulation of synaptic vesicle docking. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and protein phosphorylation. Located in mitochondrion and postsynaptic density. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early embryo; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Used to study autism spectrum disorder and bipolar disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 53 and autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 63. Orthologous to human CAMK2A (calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a significant portion of the 5' coding region and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 2. The resulting isoform (3) is shorter and has a distinct N-terminus, compared to isoform 2.
