Gene information for AKAP3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10566
Official gene symbolAKAP3
Full nameA kinase (PRKA) anchor protein 3
Aliases,AKAP110,CT82,FSP95,PRKA3,SOB1,
Gene summaryThe A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) are a group of structurally diverse proteins, which have the common function of binding to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and confining the holoenzyme to discrete locations within the cell. This gene encodes a member of the AKAP family, and is expressed in testis only. The encoded protein contains an RII-binding domain, and is predicted to participate in protein-protein interactions with the R-subunit of the PKA. This protein is localized to the ribs of the fibrous sheath in the principal piece of the sperm tail. It may function as a regulator of both motility- and head-associated functions such as capacitation and the acrosome reaction. [provided by RefSeq]
