Also known as CLNMT
Summary
CAMKMT (calmodulin-lysine N-methyltransferase, HGNC:26276) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p21, encoding Calmodulin-lysine N-methyltransferase (Q7Z624). Catalyzes the trimethylation of ‘Lys-116’ in calmodulin.
This gene encodes a class I protein methyltransferase that acts in the formation of trimethyllysine in calmodulin. The protein contains a AdoMet-binding motif and may play a role in calcium-dependent signaling.

Additional cross-species homologs
Sequence homologs in species beyond Ensembl Compara’s model organisms, by Diamond local protein alignment (% sequence identity; best hit per species). Lower-identity rows are more distant homologs. The matched accessions’ gene symbols aren’t in biobtree yet, so each row shows the UniProt accession.

Genomic neighbors (locus context)
Genes flanking this one on the chromosome (NCBI/Entrez gene neighborhood). Positional context only — some neighbors share regulatory elements (bidirectional promoters, antisense/overlapping transcripts), but chromosomal adjacency is not itself a functional relationship (see Interactions for that).

Calmodulin-lysine N-methyltransferase — Q7Z624 (reviewed: Q7Z624)
All UniProt accessions (6): B5MC16, B5MC79, H7C2N4, H7C2T0, H7C3B0, Q7Z624
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes the trimethylation of ‘Lys-116’ in calmodulin.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer. Interacts with HSP90, probably as a client.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus Golgi apparatus.
Tissue specificity. Isoform 1 is expressed in brain, liver, muscle colon and lung. Isoform 2 is expressed in colon, testis, kidney and brain. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in normal lymphoblastoid cells but not in lymphoblastoid cells from patients with hypotonia-cystinuria syndrome.
Disease relevance. Hypotonia-cystinuria syndrome (HCS) [MIM:606407] Characterized generalized hypotonia at birth, nephrolithiasis, growth hormone deficiency, minor facial dysmorphism, failure to thrive, followed by hyperphagia and rapid weight gain in late childhood. The gene represented in this entry is involved in disease pathogenesis. A homozygous 77.4-kb deletion that disrupts the gene represented in this entry, PREPL, and SLC3A1, causes atypical hypotonia-cystinuria syndrome, characterized by mild to moderate intellectual disability and respiratory chain complex IV deficiency.
Similarity. Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. CLNMT methyltransferase family.
