CaMK1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase consisting of an N-terminal catalytic domain, a regulatory segment, and a C-terminal association domain. The kinase is activated by binding of calcium/calmodulin to its regulatory domain, relieving autoinhibition.
CaMK1 plays important roles in neuronal signaling:
In Alzheimer's Disease:
In Parkinson's Disease:
