UniProt functional annotation for P31321

UniProt code: P31321.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinases involved in cAMP signaling in cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20819953}.
 
Subunit: The inactive holoenzyme is composed of two regulatory chains and two catalytic chains. Activation by cAMP releases the two active catalytic monomers and the regulatory dimer. Interacts with PRKX; regulates this cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Interacts with C2orf88/smAKAP; this interaction may target PRKAR1B to the plasma membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20819953, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23115245}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23115245}.
Tissue specificity: Four types of regulatory chains are found: I-alpha, I-beta, II-alpha, and II-beta. Their expression varies among tissues and is in some cases constitutive and in others inducible.
Ptm: The pseudophosphorylation site binds to the substrate-binding region of the catalytic chain, resulting in the inhibition of its activity.
Similarity: Belongs to the cAMP-dependent kinase regulatory chain family. {ECO:0000305}.
