Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity. Involved in regulation of neuron migration. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; activation of meiosis involved in egg activation; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Located in cytosol; postsynaptic density; and spindle midzone. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 54. Orthologous to human CAMK2B (calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II beta).
