CaMKPase is a member of the PP2C family of Ser/Thr protein phosphatases that dephosphorylate and regulate the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs). The multifunctional CaMKs mediate cellular responses induced by increases in second messenger Ca2+ and have been implicated in the control of synaptic transmission, gene transcription, cell growth and contraction of cardiac and smooth muscles. Overexpression of CaMKPase has been shown to mediate caspase-dependent apoptosis. CaMKPase can also interact with the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (PIX) thereby blocking the effects of p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1).

Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphatase (CaMKPase) dephosphorylates and regulates multifunctional Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs). One of the prominent features of CaMKPase is stimulation of phosphatase activity by polycations such as poly-L-lysine (poly(Lys)). Using various polycations, basicity and molecular weight of the
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphatase (CaMKPase) is a protein phosphatase which dephosphorylates autophosphorylated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and deactivates the enzyme (Ishida, A., Kameshita, I. and Fujisawa, H. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 1904-1910). In this study, a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation relationship
