Description : 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 binds to the RII-beta regulatory subunit of PKA, and also to protein kinase C and the phosphatase calcineurin. It is predominantly expressed in cerebral cortex and may anchor the PKA protein at postsynaptic densities (PSD) and be involved in the regulation of postsynaptic events. It is also expressed in T lymphocytes and may function to inhibit interleukin-2 transcription by disrupting calcineurin-dependent dephosphorylation of NFAT. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Q&As (17)

Ask a question
Can AKAP5 be used as a diagnostic marker for any diseases? 08/04/2022

At present, AKAP5 is not established as a specific diagnostic marker for any diseases. However, ongoing research may uncover its potential diagnostic utility in certain conditions where AKAP5 dysregulation or altered expression has been observed.

What are the structural domains of AKAP5? 12/18/2021

AKAP5 contains multiple structural domains that contribute to its function. It has a long N-terminal region rich in potential protein-protein interaction sites, including amphipathic helices and an isoleucine-arginine motif. It also has a central domain that binds to the regulatory subunits of PKA and a C-terminal domain responsible for anchoring AKAP5 to various cellular structures.

Are there any other proteins or molecules that interact with AKAP5? 11/23/2021

Apart from PKA, AKAP5 interacts with multiple other molecules involved in signaling pathways. It can bind and recruit various enzymes, ion channels, receptors, and cytoskeletal proteins to specific subcellular locations. Some notable interacting partners of AKAP5 include phosphodiesterases, protein phosphatase 2B (calcineurin), NMDA receptors, L-type calcium channels, and adenylyl cyclases.

Can AKAP5 interact with multiple isoforms of PKA? 12/31/2020

Yes, AKAP5 can interact with various isoforms of PKA by binding to their regulatory subunits. This allows for selective targeting of different PKA holoenzymes to specific subcellular locations.

Are there any drugs or compounds that specifically target AKAP5? 05/06/2020

Currently, there are no specific drugs or compounds that target AKAP5 directly. However, researchers are actively investigating the development of small molecules or peptides that can selectively disrupt AKAP5 interactions or modulate its functions.

How is AKAP5 involved in calcium signaling? 12/27/2019

AKAP5 plays a role in calcium signaling by anchoring PKA and calcium-related enzymes or channels. It is involved in regulating calcium-induced release of neurotransmitters and modulating NMDA receptor-mediated calcium influx.

Are there any AKAP5 knockout (KO) animal models? 07/12/2019

Yes, AKAP5 knockout animal models have been generated to study its functions. These models have provided valuable insights into the role of AKAP5 in synaptic transmission, synaptic plasticity, and behavior.

Can AKAP5 be phosphorylated? 05/26/2019

Yes, AKAP5 can be phosphorylated by various kinases, including PKA itself. Phosphorylation of AKAP5 can regulate its localization, protein-protein interactions, and activity.

Does genetic variation in AKAP5 influence disease susceptibility? 02/04/2019

Some studies have identified genetic variations in AKAP5 that are associated with increased susceptibility to certain psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. However, more research is needed to fully understand the impact of these genetic variations on disease development and progression.

How does AKAP5 interact with PKA? 07/01/2018

AKAP5 binds to the regulatory subunits of PKA, bringing the enzyme into close proximity with its substrate molecules. This interaction allows PKA to phosphorylate specific target proteins and regulate their function within the localized signaling microdomain.

Is AKAP5 associated with any diseases or disorders? 08/19/2017

Some studies highlight the involvement of AKAP5 in specific diseases and disorders. For instance, alterations in AKAP5 localization and function have been implicated in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and alcohol addiction. However, further research is necessary to establish a clearer understanding of AKAP5's role in these conditions.

Is AKAP5 expression regulated during development? 06/25/2017

Yes, the expression of AKAP5 can be regulated during development and in response to different physiological conditions or stimuli. It is known to be developmentally regulated in the brain, with changes in its expression levels during critical periods of synaptic maturation and plasticity.

Does AKAP5 have any roles outside of neurons? 06/02/2016

While AKAP5's functions have been extensively studied in neurons, recent research suggests potential roles in other cell types. For example, AKAP5 has been implicated in cardiac function, where it regulates the localization and activity of ion channels and receptors. However, further investigation is needed to fully understand AKAP5's functions outside of the nervous system.

Does AKAP5 play a role in synaptic plasticity? 03/27/2016

Yes, AKAP5 is important for synaptic plasticity, which is the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken in response to neuronal activity. It anchors PKA and other signaling molecules to postsynaptic densities, where they modulate neurotransmitter receptor function, synaptic strength, and long-term potentiation (LTP) or long-term depression (LTD) processes associated with synaptic plasticity.

Where is AKAP5 predominantly expressed? 03/11/2016

AKAP5 is widely expressed in various tissues, including the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. It is especially abundant in neurons, where it is involved in regulating neuronal signaling and synaptic plasticity.

How is AKAP5 regulated in cells? 11/24/2015

AKAP5 can be regulated through multiple mechanisms. One important regulatory mechanism involves phosphorylation, where various kinases can target AKAP5 and modulate its activity or binding affinity for interacting proteins. Additionally, intracellular signaling pathways, calcium levels, and changes in subcellular localization can influence AKAP5 function and its interactions with other molecules.

Can AKAP5 be a potential therapeutic target? 03/09/2015

Due to its vital role in regulating various cellular processes, including neuronal function, AKAP5 has been considered as a potential therapeutic target. Developing drugs or compounds that selectively modulate AKAP5 interactions or disrupt specific protein-protein interactions involving AKAP5 could provide a means to regulate neuronal signaling and potentially treat certain neurological disorders.
