A-kinase anchor protein 8 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AKAP8 gene.[1][2]

The A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) are a group of structurally diverse proteins, which have the common function of binding to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and confining the holoenzyme to discrete locations within the cell. This gene encodes a member of the AKAP family. The encoded protein is located in the nucleus during interphase and is distinctly redistributed during mitosis. This protein has a cell cycle-dependent interaction with the RII subunit of PKA.[2]

Interactions

AKAP8 has been shown to interact with DDX5,[3] AMY1A,[4] MCM2,[5] Cyclin D3[6] and PRKAR2A.[1][7]
