catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,enzyme regulation:Negatively regulated by autophosphorylation on Ser-318.,function:Calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine kinase which acts as a positive regulator of apoptosis.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. DAP kinase subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subunit:Homodimer. Homodimerization is required for apoptotic function and is inhibited by autophosphorylation at Ser-318.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed in all tissue types examined. High levels in heart, lung and skeletal muscle.,
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome lumen.
Expressed in neutrophils and eosinophils (PubMed:24163421). Isoform 2 is expressed in embryonic stem cells (at protein level). Isoform 1 is ubiquitously expressed in all tissue types examined with high levels in heart, lung and skeletal muscle.
