Calcium/Calmodulin Dependent Protein Kinase II Inhibitor 1 (CAMK2N1)

CaMKIINalpha; CaMKII inhibitory protein alpha

Calcium/Calmodulin Dependent Protein Kinase II Inhibitor 1 (CAMK2N1)
Nrgn and Camk2n1 are highly expressed in the brain and play an important role in synaptic long-term potentiation via regulation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II.
In situ hybridization (ISH) analysis revealed spatiotemporal regulation of the Nrgn and Camk2n1 sense and natural antisense transcripts (NATs) throughout cerebral corticogenesis.Both Nrgn and Camk2n1 sense and NATs were also upregulated in differentiating P19 teratocarcinoma cells.The differential regulation of multiple sense and novel overlapping NATs at the Nrgn and Camk2n1 loci will increase the diversity of posttranscriptional regulation, resulting in cell- and time-specific regulation of their gene products during cerebral corticogenesis and function.
