CaMK 1

A calmodulin-dependent kinase

General Information

Calcium- and calmodulin-dependent kinase 1 (CaMK 1) is a serine/threonine kinase that belongs to the family of calcium-dependent kinases consisting of CaMK 2, CaMK 4, and CaMKK (CaMK-kinase). Four different isoforms (CaMK 1 α, β, γ, and δ) derived from independent genes have been described. CaMK 1 is the most abundant isoform in the central nervous system and is involved in cellular differentiation processes.
