Example sentences for: camkii
How can you use “camkii” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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.
Both have been shown to elevate intracellular Ca 2+levels and to activate PKC and CamKII [ 4 5 6 ] . In addition Wnt-5a and Rfz-2 have been shown to synergize in their induction of CamKII [ 6 ] . Wnt-1/C57mg cells were also used for comparison, in an effort to identify genes preferentially regulated by Wnt-5a.
Thus, enhanced phosphorylation by CaMKII may be involved in the altered levels of NMDA-receptor subunits observed here, but this remains to be tested.
In the present study, an increased synaptic expression of the NMDA receptors and GluR1 subunits is associated with changes in CaMKII.
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].
