Biometals, 1998•SpringerCa 2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV) is a multifunctional, serine-
threonine protein kinase that is activated in the presence of increased intracellular calcium
(Ca 2+). CaMKIV is a potent medi-ator of Ca 2+ induced gene expression, primarily through
its ability to phosphorylate and activate transcrip-tion factors such as CREB. CaMKIV-

Abstract
Ca 2+ /calmodulin dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV) is a multifunctional, serine-threonine protein kinase that is activated in the presence of increased intracellular calcium ( Ca 2+ ).CaMKIV is a potent medi-ator of Ca 2+ induced gene expression, primarily through its ability to phosphorylate and activate transcrip-tion factors such as CREB. CaMKIV-dependent activation of CREB is a key event in the expression of genes involved in the processes of T-cell activation and neuronal long term potentiation. The focus of this review is to describe the biochemical regulation of CaMKIV and examine how CaMKIV activates tran-scription in response to calcium in both cell and animal models.© Kluwer Academic Publishers
