| Name: | calcium- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase complex |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase complex, CAMK2, CaMKII |
| Definition: | An enzyme complex which in eukaryotes is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The different isoforms assemble into homo- or heteromultimeric holoenzymes composed of 8 to 12 subunits. Catalyzes the phosphorylation of proteins to O-phosphoproteins. |
