Automated Description
Enables calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within heart jogging and protein autophosphorylation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; neuron projection; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in brain; heart; somite; and tail bud. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 53 and autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 63. Orthologous to human CAMK2A (calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II alpha).
