The product of this gene belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase cluster, and to the Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CAMK) group. This enzyme is a multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinase with limited tissue distribution, that has been implicated in transcriptional regulation in lymphocytes, neurons, and male germ cells.^[6]
