Summary

Enables GTPase activating protein binding activity and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including NMDA selective glutamate receptor signaling pathway; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of protein localization to cell periphery. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite cytoplasm; glutamatergic postsynaptic density; and neuronal cell body. Is active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic cytosol; and presynaptic cytosol. Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant mental retardation 53 and autosomal recessive non-syndromic intellectual disability. Orthologous to human CAMK2A (calcium/Calmodulin dependent protein kinase II alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
