Other Information

## Summary The CAMK2A gene encodes a protein belonging to the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase family. It is significantly expressed in various brain regions, particularly in neurons of the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and basal ganglia. ## Key characteristics * **Function:** CAMK2A is a key regulator of cardiac conduction, cellular responses to stimuli, cellular responses to stress, and cytokine signaling in the immune system. * **Expression:** It is highly expressed in pyramidal neurons, which are specialized neurons involved in learning and memory. * **Localization:** It is also expressed in other brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and basal ganglia. ## Pathways and functions * **Cardiac conduction:** CAMK2A is involved in maintaining cardiac conduction by regulating the heart rate and contractility of cardiac cells. * **Cellular responses to stimuli:** It plays a role in the regulation of cellular responses to various stimuli, such as those caused by growth factors, cytokines, and stress factors. * **Cytokine signaling in immune system:** CAMK2A is a key regulator of cytokine signaling in the immune system. It is expressed in immune cells and is involved in the regulation of immune responses to pathogens and inflammatory stimuli. * **Diseases of signal transduction by growth factor receptors and second messengers:** CAMK2A is involved in the regulation of signal transduction by growth factor receptors and second messengers. ## Clinical significance Mutations in the CAMK2A gene have been linked to several neurological and psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, autism, and anxiety disorders. These disorders are characterized by abnormal brain function and synaptic plasticity. CAMK2A is a promising target for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Inhibition of CAMK2A has been shown to ameliorate many of the symptoms of these disorders.
