Background

CAMK2B belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family and to the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subfamily. Calcium signaling is crucial for several aspects of plasticity at glutamatergic synapses. In mammalian cells, the enzyme is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. This protein is a beta chain. It is possible that distinct isoforms of this chain have different cellular localizations and interact differently with calmodulin.
