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]

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.
