Caldesmon kinase
Definition:
EC Tree > 2 Transferases > 2.7 Transferring phosphorus-containing groups > 2.7.1 Phosphotransferases with an alcohol group as acceptor > 2.7.1.120 caldesmon kinase
Caldesmon kinase is a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent smooth-muscle enzyme. Phosphorylation abolishes caldesmon's ability to bind actin and inhibit myosin ATPase; the enzyme appears identical with caldesmon itself, acting as an intramolecular autophosphorylation.
