Official Full Name

calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase (MAGUK family)

Background

This gene encodes a calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase. The encoded protein is a MAGUK;(membrane-associated guanylate kinase) protein family member. These proteins are scaffold proteins and the encoded;protein is located at synapses in the brain. Mutations in this gene are associated with FG syndrome 4, mental;retardation and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia, and a form of X-linked mental retardation.;Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
