Other previous studies have only analyzed a limited number of protein kinases (c-Abl, Src, Fyn, Yes, Lck, Lyn, Syk, Akt, mTOR, p70S6K, CaMK2α, CDK5, PYK2, PKA, PKC, PKR, PERK, MEK1/2 and MAPKs), based mostly on their hypothesized involvement in prion disease pathogenesis [13, 14, 17–20, 22, 74–88]. This evidence concerns the gene CAMK2A and prion disease.
