About AKAP7

Cytogenetic location: 6q23.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:131,125,627-131,283,532 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 192 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in adrenal (RPKM 12.1), duodenum (RPKM 4.2) and 23 other tissues.

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.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]
