AKAP Inhibitors

A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) are a group of proteins, which bind the regulatory subunits (RI and RII) of protein kinase A (PKA), anchoring it to specific locations within the cell. To date 30 genes with at least 50 members have been identified. Most of the identified AKAPs bind the RII region of PKA while several have been shown to bind RI. Some dual-AKAPs bind both RI and RII (D-AKAP1 and D-AKAP2 respectively). All AKAPs contain a PKA-anchoring domain, have unique localization signals ...
