The Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase family includes CaM Kinases I through IV, Phosphorylase Kinase, and MLCK. The CaM Kinases are inactive in the absence of stimuli; binding to Ca2+/Calmodulin induces conformational changes and activation. CaM Kinases have broad substrate specificity, with many cellular functions.
Applications:
