CAMK1D is expressed in neurons, including those of the hippocampus, at relatively high levels. While little direct information about the functional effects of its brain expression is available, other calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinases play large roles in memory like processes. Useful reagents to study CAMK1D activities in peripheral systems might well come from studies of mimics of CAMK1D sequences [267–269].
