Calcium signaling is crucial for several aspects of plasticity at glutamatergic synapses. This calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinase is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The alpha chain encoded by this gene is required for hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) and spatial learning. In addition to its calcium-calmodulin (CaM)-dependent activity, this protein can undergo autophosphorylation, resulting in CaM-independent activity. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Member of the NMDAR signaling complex in excitatory synapses it may regulate NMDAR-dependent potentiation of the AMPAR and synaptic plasticity (By similarity). Phosphorylates transcription factor FOXO3 on 'Ser-298' (PubMed:23805378). Activates FOXO3 transcriptional activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11275, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23805378}. |Pkinase| |Pkinase Tyr| |CaMKII AD| |regulation of synaptic vesicle docking| |calcium- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase complex| |peptidyl-threonine autophosphorylation| |regulation of vesicle docking| |glutamate receptor binding| |calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity| |angiotensin-activated signaling pathway| |positive regulation of striated muscle cell apoptotic process| |positive regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process| |cellular response to angiotensin| |regulation of mitochondrial membrane permeability involved in apoptotic process| |calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity| |response to angiotensin| |positive regulation of muscle cell apoptotic process| |dendritic spine development| |Wnt signaling pathway, calcium modulating pathway| |regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process| |regulation of striated muscle cell apoptotic process| |regulation of neuron migration| |response to ischemia| |regulation of neuronal synaptic plasticity| |dendrite morphogenesis| |apoptotic mitochondrial changes| |regulation of muscle cell apoptotic process| |endocytic vesicle membrane| |regulation of mitochondrial membrane permeability| |interferon-gamma-mediated signaling pathway| |regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis| |regulation of cellular response to heat| |kinase activity| |regulation of membrane permeability| |Schaffer collateral -
