| Primary Identifier | MGI:2444812 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 207565 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity; and calmodulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including CAMKK-AMPK signaling cascade; activation of protein kinase activity; and positive regulation of autophagy of mitochondrion. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in nervous system; neural retina; and testis. Orthologous to human CAMKK2 (calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Inactivation of this locus results in impaird long term potentiation and defects in some types of long term memory. [provided by MGI curators] |
