Disease relevance of AKAP6

  • Recombinant AKAP100, expressed in Escherichia coli, binds RII alpha in a solid-phase overlay assay [1].
  • In the heart, signaling events such as the onset of cardiac hypertrophy are influenced by muscle-specific mAKAP signaling complexes that target protein kinase A (PKA), the cAMP-responsive guanine-nucleotide exchange factor EPAC and cAMP-selective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of AKAP6

  • AKAP100 was detected in preparations of RII purified from L6P cell extracts by cAMP-agarose affinity chromatography [1].
  • By immunoblotting, we identified AKAP100 in adult rat and human hearts, and showed that type I and II regulatory (RI and II) subunits of PKA are present in the rat heart [4].
