FUNCTION: SwissProt: Q14012 # Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase belonging to a proposed calcium-triggered signaling cascade involved in a number of cellular processes like transcriptional regulation, hormone production, translational regulation, regulation of actin filament organization and neurite outgrowth. Involved in calcium- dependent activation of the ERK pathway (By similarity). Recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [MVLIF]-x-R-x(2)-[ST]- x(3)-[MVLIF]. Phosphorylates EIF4G3/eIF4GII. In vitro phosphorylates CREB1, ATF1, CTFR, MYL9, SYN1/synapsin I and SYNII/synapsin II (By similarity).
SIZE: 370 amino acids; 41337 Da
SUBUNIT: Monomer. Interacts with XPO1 (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity). Nucleus (By similarity). Note=Predominantly cytoplasmic (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous.
DOMAIN:SwissProt: Q14012 The autoinhibitory domain overlaps with the calmodulin binding region and interacts in the inactive folded state with the catalytic domain as a pseudosubstrate (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CaMK subfamily. & Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
