Disease relevance of CALM2

 

High impact information on CALM2

  • Calmodulin is encoded in vertebrates by three different genes: CALM1, CALM2, and CALM3 [2].
  • Denervation led to modest decreases in the levels of mRNAs for both CAMII and MAP2 but did not lead to detectable alterations in mRNA distribution [3].
  • The mRNA encoding the alpha subunit of calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CAMII kinase) was present at high levels throughout the layers that contain the dendrites of hippocampal pyramidal cells and dentate granule cells [3].
  • Localization of the human bona fide calmodulin genes CALM1, CALM2, and CALM3 to chromosomes 14q24-q31, 2p21.1-p21.3, and 19q13.2-q13.3 [4].
  • The three bona fide genes coding for calmodulin CALM1, CALM2, and CALM3, were assigned to human chromosomes 14, 2, and 19, respectively, by polymerase chain reaction-based amplification of calmodulin gene-specific sequences using DNA from human-hamster cell hybrids as template [4].
 

Biological context of CALM2

  • Conversely, levels of immunocytochemically detectable calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CAMII kinase) are increased in deprived eye dominance columns [5].
