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] Expression Broad expression in adrenal (RPKM 12.1), duodenum (RPKM 4.2) and 23 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
