CaMK1

CaMK1, or Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 1, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in cellular signaling. It is activated by calcium ions in the presence of a protein called calmodulin. Once activated, CaMK1 can modify other proteins through a process called phosphorylation, which can change their activity and influence various biological processes, including muscle contraction, cell growth, and memory formation in the brain. Essentially, CaMK1 helps cells respond to changes in their environment and is important for maintaining various physiological functions.
