Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: αCaMKII plays central and essential roles in long-term potentiation (LTP), learning and memory. αCaMKII is activated via binding with Ca²⁺/CaM in response to elevated Ca²⁺ concentration. Furthermore, prolonged increase in Ca²⁺ concentration leads to the auto-phosphorylation of αCaMKII at T286, maintaining the activation of αCaMKII even after Ca²⁺/CaM dissociation. Importantly, the active form of...
