Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2)
In total 2 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary m6A modification promoted translation of PPM1A (protein phosphatase 1A, magnesium dependent, alpha isoform), a negative AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulator, but decreased expression of Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2) (calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2, beta), a positive AMPK regulator, by reducing its RNA stability. Similar regulation of METTL14, ALKBH5, and m6A was also observed in LCs upon treatment with human chorionic gonadotropin (HsCG). Knock down of YTHDF1 failed to change the expression of CAMKK2 Providing insight into novel therapeutic strategies by exploiting m6A RNA methylation as targets for treating azoospermatism and oligospermatism patients with reduction in serum testosterone. knock down of YTHDF2 increased expression of Camkk2 at both mRNA and protein levels to a similar extent as knock down of METTL14 in both TM3 cells and primary LCs.

In total 1 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [2]

In-vivo Model Mice in the control group received an i.p. injections of 0.9% NaCl. Mice in the low, medium, and high Mn groups received i.p. injections of 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg MnCl2. The volume of administration was 5 mL/kg body weight. The injection was given daily for 2 weeks.
Protein phosphatase 1A (PPM1A)

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary m6A modification promoted translation of Protein phosphatase 1A (PPM1A) (protein phosphatase 1A, magnesium dependent, alpha isoform), a negative AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulator, but decreased expression of CAMKK2 (calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2, beta), a positive AMPK regulator, by reducing its RNA stability.
