Gene information for AKAP7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9465
Official gene symbolAKAP7
Full nameA kinase (PRKA) anchor protein 7
Aliases,AKAP18,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) family, a group of functionally related proteins that bind to a regulatory subunit (RII) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and target the enzyme to specific subcellular compartments. AKAPs have a common RII-binding domain, but contain different targeting motifs responsible for directing PKA to distinct intracellular locations. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. Additional variants exist, but their full-length natures have not been determined.
