About GKAP1

Cytogenetic location: 9q21.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:83,739,425-83,817,769 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants) and 205 orthologues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 88.6) and ovary (RPKM 4.2).

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. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
