Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables calmodulin binding activity and elongation factor-2 kinase activity. Involved in regulation of protein autophosphorylation. Predicted to be located in dendritic spine. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in liver; lung; nervous system; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human EEF2K (eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase).
