Abstract
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMK4) has been shown to be involved in autoimmunity but it is not clear how it functions in psoriasis. Here the authors show that CaMK4 is increased in psoriasis and promotes inflammatory responses in mouse models of psoriasis mediated through macrophages and keratinocytes.
