CAMK2β belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family and to the type II multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subfamily. CAMK2β showed wide tissue and cell distribution, and one of CAMK2β variant predominated in adult brain. The ratio of CAMK2α and CAMK2β protein levels were inversely related during activity in hippocampal neurons. CAMK2β is a prominent kinase in the central nervous system and may function in long-term potentiation and neurotransmitter release.

We show that alpha and betaCaMKII are inversely regulated by activity in hippocampal neurons in culture: the alpha/beta ratio shifts toward alpha during increased activity and beta during decreased activity. The swing in ratio is approximately 5-fold and may help

CaMK-II (the (type II) multifunctional Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase) has been implicated in diverse neuronal and non-neuronal functions, including cell growth control. CaMKII expression was evaluated in a variety of human tumor cell lines using RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase coupled polymerase chain
