CaMK4 (Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type IV)

CaMK4 (Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV) is an enzyme inside cells that becomes active when calcium levels rise. It plays a key role in how cells respond to calcium signals, influencing gene activity and cellular functions, especially in immune responses, brain activity, and the development of certain tissues. By adding phosphate groups to specific proteins, CaMK4 helps regulate processes like cell growth, differentiation, and immune cell regulation, making it essential for maintaining proper cellular communication and function in the body.
