Function
- binds to protein kinase A type II regulatory subunits & anchors/targets them
Structure
- PKA-RII-alpha binding site, predicted to form an amphipathic helix, could participate in protein-protein interactions with a complementary surface on the R-subunit dimer
- belongs to the AKAP110 family
Compartment
- cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, centrosome
- cytoplasmic in premeiotic pachytene spermatocytes & in the centrosome of developing postmeiotic germ cells, while a midpiece/centrosome localization was found in elongating spermatocytes & mature sperm
Expression
- expressed in heart, brain, lung, liver, kidney, testis & ovary
- weakly expressed in skeletal muscle, pancreas & spleen
