eEF2 kinase (eEF2K) is a unique Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase.
eEF2K expression increased but phosphorylation decreased in cardiac hypertrophy.
eEF2 phosphorylation increased in cardiac hypertrophy.
Expression and phosphorylation state of eEF2K/eEF2 was common to hypertrophy model.
eEF2K/eEF2 signaling might affect the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy.
