Gene: GKAP1

Alternate names for this Gene: FKSG21|GKAP42

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that is highly similar to the mouse cGMP-dependent protein kinase anchoring protein 42kDa. The mouse protein has been found to localize with the Golgi and recruit cGMP-dependent protein kinase I alpha to the Golgi in mouse testes. It is thought to play a role in germ cell development. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q21.32

Description of this Gene: G kinase anchoring protein 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
