OverviewNCBI Gene

The product of this gene belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family and to the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subfamily. Calcium signaling is crucial for several aspects of plasticity at glutamatergic synapses. In mammalian cells, the enzyme is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The product of this gene is a beta chain. It is possible that distinct isoforms of this chain have different cellular localizations and interact differently with calmodulin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CAMK2B can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CAMK2B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CAMK2B could matter depends on whether native CAMK2B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CAMK2B is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CAMK2B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
