    basic FUNCTION
  • a kinase (PRKA regulatory subunit RIIA), anchor protein tethering the enzyme near its physiological substrate
  • AKAP6 is an important regulator of myoblast differentiation, myotube formation, and muscle regeneration
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell organization/biogenesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    a component
  • anchoring/targeting type II regulatory subunits of protein kinase A to the nuclear membrane or sarcoplasmic reticulum
  • may act as an adapter for assembling multiprotein complexes
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with type II regulatory subunits of protein kinase A (RII subunit of PKA)
  • interacting with phosphatase 2B (calcineurin)
  • interacting with AKAP79
  • AKAP6 promotes MYOG expression through myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A)
