CAMK2D
(redirected from calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) II delta)CAMK2D
A gene on chromosome 4q26 that encodes the delta subunit of CAMK2, a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase which belongs to a calcium-triggered signalling cascade. It is involved in sarcoplamic reticulum Ca2+ transport in skeletal muscle; in neurons, CAMK2 participates in promoting dendritic spine and synapse formation and in maintaining synaptic plasticity, which enables long-term potentiation (LTP) and hippocampus-dependent learning.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc.
