Gene: AKAP7

Alternate names for this Gene: AKAP15|AKAP18

Gene Summary: This 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6q23.2

Description of this Gene: A-kinase anchoring protein 7

Type of Gene: protein-coding
