Protein kinase A (PKA) family

Unless otherwise stated all data on this page refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).

Overview

Show »« Hide

Cyclic AMP-mediated signalling involves regulation of cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels, members of the Rap guanine nucleotide exchange family (Epac, ENSFM00250000000899) and activation of protein kinase A (PKA, also known as cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase). PKA is a heterotetrameric enzyme composed of two regulatory and two catalytic subunits, which can be distinguished from Epac (exchange protein directly activated by cyclic AMP, [2]) by differential activation by N⁶ benzyl-cAMP (see Table) and 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP, respectively [3].
