Background
CaMKII (Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II) is a ubiquitous serine/threonine protein kinase that is abundant in the brain as a major constituent of the postsynaptic density (PSD). The enzyme is an oligomeric protein composed of distinct but related subunits, alpha, beta, gamma, and delta, each encoded by a separate gene. CAMK2A assembles into heterooligomeric complexes with other CAMK2 subunits. CaMKII is a prominent kinase in the central nervous system that may function in long term potentiation and neurotransmitter release.Synonyms: CAMK2A, CAMK2B, CAMKA, CaM kinase II subunit alpha, CaM kinase II subunit beta, CaM-kinase II alpha chain, CaM-kinase II beta chain, CaMK-II subunit alpha, CaMK-II subunit beta, Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II alpha chain, KIAA0968
