General description

CASK is a calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase which is a MAGUK (membrane-associated guanylate kinase) protein family member. CASK is a scaffold protein and the encoded protein is located at synapses in the brain. CASK associates with FG syndrome 4, mental retardation, microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia, and a form of X-linked mental retardation. CASK functions as a cytoskeletal membrane scaffold that coordinates signal transduction pathways within the cortical cytoskeleton.
