Summary: Enables GTPase activating protein binding activity and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including neurotransmitter receptor transport to plasma membrane; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of protein localization to cell periphery. Located in axon; dendrite cytoplasm; and neuronal cell body. Is active in several cellular components, including postsynaptic cytosol; postsynaptic density; and presynaptic cytosol. Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 53 and autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 63. Orthologous to human CAMK2A (calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
