How can you use “camkii” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The activation of CaMKII then catalyzes the phosphorylation of AMPA-receptors and enhances AMPA receptor responsiveness [ 37, 39, 40, 60].
To determine if GluR1 phosphorylation by CaMKII in vivo is altered in the rdta retina, the SPM proteins of the rdta retina and their littermate controls are back phosphorylated by endogenous CaMKII in the presence of Ca 2+/CaM (1 mM CaCl 2 and 0.02 mg/ml calmodulin).
While stimulation of PKC activity may decrease CaMKII binding to the NMDA receptor complex [ 56], there is no change in the level of PKC in the rdta mice [ 34].
The NR2 subunits of the NMDA receptor contain serine residues that can be phosphorylated by either CaMKII or PKC [ 53, 54, 55].
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.
