FunctionFunction

Ca2+/Calmodulin dependent protein kinase (CaMK) are activated by elevation of Ca+2 and calmodulin concentration to phosphorylate Ser and Thr.

  • CaMKI is a specialized CaM kinase.
  • CaMKII is multifunctional kinase.
  • CASK is a membrane associated CaMK.
  • DAPK is a death-associated CaMK which protects cells from some programmed cell death.

Structural highlightsStructural highlights

CAMKII contains an N-terminal catalytic domain which binds ATP and substrate protein, regulatory domain (CBD) and association domain (ASD). DAPK contains a regulatory (RD) and autoinhibitory (AD) domains.
