Gene information for AKAP12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9590
Official gene symbolAKAP12
Full nameA kinase (PRKA) anchor protein 12
Aliases,AKAP250,DKFZp686M0430,DKFZp686O0331,FLJ20945,FLJ97621,
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. The encoded protein is expressed in endothelial cells, cultured fibroblasts, and osteosarcoma cells. It associates with protein kinases A and C and phosphatase, and serves as a scaffold protein in signal transduction. This protein and RII PKA colocalize at the cell periphery. This protein is a cell growth-related protein. Antibodies to this protein can be produced by patients with myasthenia gravis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
