Background
AKAP8, AKAP95, A-kinase anchor protein 8, AKAP-8, A-kinase anchor protein 95 kDa, AKAP 95AKAP8 encodes a member of the A-kinase anchor protein family. A-kinase anchor proteins are scaffold proteins that contain a binding domain for the RI/RII subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and recruit PKA and other signaling molecules to specific subcellular locations. ThAKAP8 encodes a nuclear A-kinase anchor protein (A-kinase anchoring protein 8) that binds to the RII alpha subunit of PKA and may play a role in chromosome condensation during mitosis by targeting PKA and the condensin complex to chromatin. A pseudogene of AKAP8 is located on the short arm of chromosome 9.
