AKAP13
Introduction
A-kinase anchor protein 13 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AKAP13 gene.[1][2][3]
Function
Function
The A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) are a group of structurally diverse proteins that 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. Alternative splicing of this gene results in at least 3 transcript variants encoding different isoforms containing a dbl oncogene homology (DH) domain and a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. The DH domain is associated with guanine nucleotide exchange activation for the Rho/Rac family of small GTP-binding proteins, resulting in the conversion of the inactive GTPase to the active form capable of transducing signals. The PH domain has multiple functions. Therefore, these isoforms function as scaffolding proteins to coordinate a Rho signaling pathway and, in addition, function as protein kinase A-anchoring proteins.[3]
Interactions
Interactions
AKAP13 has been shown to interact with Estrogen receptor alpha,[1] CTNNAL1[4] and PRKAR2A.[5][6]
