This gene is a member of the
Ser/Thr protein kinase family and encodes a protein with one protein kinase domain and two
calmodulin-binding domains. This protein is the catalytic member of a 16 subunit protein kinase complex which contains equimolar ratios of 4 subunit types. The complex is a crucial
