Description
Serine-threonine protein kinase:these kinases appear to be involved in neurotransmitter release, control of stimulus-induced gene expression, and in the phosphorylation of microtubule related proteins.

Product Overview
Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II (CaMKII) is a serine/threonine kinase. It is a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent, truncated monomer (1-325 amino acid residues) of the α subunit. Autophosphorylation of threonine 286 in the presence of Ca2+ and calmodulin activates CaMKII and produces substantial Ca2+/calmodulin-independent activity.
