background:
CaMKI gamma is a Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase which belongs to a proposed calcium-triggered signaling cascade. In vitro it phosphorylates transcription factor CREB1. It has been proposed that CaMKI gamma is involved in dendritic outgrowth mediated by CaM-dependant protein kinase kinase.
Function:
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase belonging to a proposed calcium-triggered signaling cascade. In vitro phosphorylates transcription factor CREB1 (By similarity).
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Mainly expressed in brain with small amounts in skeletal muscles, kidney, spleen and liver. Strongly expressed in forebrain neocortex, striatum and limbic system.
Post-translational modifications:
May be prenylated on Cys-473.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CaMK subfamily. Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
