Is CaMKII a gene?

GeneCards Summary for CAMK2A Gene CAMK2A (Calcium/Calmodulin Dependent Protein Kinase II Alpha) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CAMK2A include Mental Retardation, Autosomal Recessive 63 and Mental Retardation, Autosomal Dominant 53.

Where is CaMKII located?

the brain
CAMKII Structure and Mechanism of Activation The enzyme is expressed mainly in the brain, but also in the rest of the tissues. In some regions of the brain, such as the hippocampus, the protein levels reach up to 2% of total proteins (Erondu and Kennedy, 1985; Hudmon and Schulman, 2002).

What is synapsin promoter?

SYN1 promoter (Neurons) in pDRIVE expression plasmid Synapsin I is a neuron-specific phosphoprotein that coats the cytoplasmic surface of small synaptic vesicles. The proximal region of the synapsin I promoter (-422 to -22) is sufficient to direct neuron-specific gene expression.
