CaM kinase I belongs to a calcium-triggered signalling cascade involved in trasncriptional regulation, hormone production, translational regulation, regulation of actin filament organisation and neurite outgrowth. CaM kinase I is involved in calcium-dependent activation of the ERK pathway. It phosphorylates proteins with the substrate consensus sequence [MVLIF}-x-R-x(2)-[ST]-x(3)-[MVLIF]. It is activated by calcium ions or calmodulin. It reaches its maximum catalytic activity when phosphorylated by CAMKK1 or CAMKK2. CaM kinase I has a length of 370 amino acids (unprocessed precursor) and a predicted molecular weight of 41.3KDa. It is a monomer that exists in many tissues and is located within the cytoplasm or nucleus. It belongs to the protein kinase superfamily, the CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family and the CaMK subfamily.
