AKAP5 Polyclonal Antibody, AbBy Fluor™ 350 Conjugated

The type II cAMP-protein kinase (PKA) is a multifunctional kinase with a broad range of substrates (1) . Specificity of PKA signaling is thought to be mediated by the compartmentalization of the kinase to specific sites within the cell. To maintain this specific localization, the R subunit (RII) of PKA interacts with specific RII-anchoring proteins. This family of proteins has been designated A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAP) (1-3) . Members of this family, including MAP2 (microtubule-associated protein 2), neuronally expressed AKAP 79 and AKAP 150, and the DNA binding AKAP 95, display differential tissue specificity and localization (4-6) . Evidence suggests that AKAP 79 and AKAP 150 are both capable of anchoring PKA to postsynaptic densities (PSD), which are a network of proteins located on the internal surfaces of excitatory synapses.
