How can you use “camkii” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

It has been shown that AMPA-receptor phosphorylation is critical for synaptic plasticity in the brain [ 61] and postsynaptically, GluR1 is mainly regulated through changes in CaMKII phosphorylation [ 62].
It is postulated that CaMKII phosphorylation of GluR1 and NR2A/B may play a role in increasing the presence of these receptors within retinal synapses.
The Wnt/Ca 2+pathway has been shown to increase intracellular Ca 2+levels in zebrafish embryos [ 4 ] and to activate PKC and CamKII in Xenopus embryos [ 5 6 ] as well as in human melanomas [ 7 ] . Moreover, it may activate Cdc42 [ 8 ] and JNK [ 9 ] . It is important to emphasize that whether Wnts activate distinct responses and likely pathways is context-dependent, and thus in other contexts a given Wnt may activate another pathway.
Some types of synaptic plasticity, such as LTP, require activation of the NMDA receptor, postsynaptic Ca 2+ion influx with concomitant activation of CaMKII [ 63].
We have previously reported that retinal CaMKII mRNA, protein and enzyme activity (localized in the somas of amacrine cells and ganglion cells and in the inner plexifom layer) but not PKCα (localized in bipolar cells) are increased in the rdta mouse [ 34].
