CAMK1G (gene)

CAMK1G (Calcium/Calmodulin Dependent Protein Kinase IG) is a gene that encodes a member of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase family. This gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 10 (10p13). The protein encoded by this gene is a type of serine/threonine kinase, which is involved in many cellular processes, including cell division, differentiation, and metabolism.

Function

The CAMK1G gene encodes a protein that is part of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase family. These kinases are activated by calcium and calmodulin and are involved in a variety of cellular functions. The protein encoded by CAMK1G is known to play a crucial role in the regulation of cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and cell differentiation. It is also involved in the regulation of gene expression and protein synthesis.

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the CAMK1G gene have been associated with various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. The protein encoded by this gene is also thought to play a role in the development of the nervous system and in the regulation of immune response.
