Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in CAMKK-AMPK signaling cascade and positive regulation of protein phosphorylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; neural retina; testis; and trigeminal nerve. Orthologous to human CAMKK2 (calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase kinase 2).
