cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Catalytic Subunit Gamma - CISMeF
CAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Catalytic Subunit GammaNCIt concept
Preferred Label : cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Catalytic Subunit Gamma;
NCIt synonyms : PRKACG; cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Gamma; PKA C-Gamma; KAPG; Protein Kinase A C-Gamma; EC 2.7.11.11; Protein Kinase-A C-Gamma;
NCIt definition : cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit gamma (351 aa, 40 kDa) is encoded
by the human PRKACG gene. This protein plays a role in both cAMP-mediated signaling
and protein phosphorylation.;
NCIt note : cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit gamma is a catalytic subunit of tetrameric
inactive cytoplasmic holoenzyme protein Kinase A. Homo- or heterodimeric regulatory
subunits of inactive PKA holoenzyme are associated with two catalytic subunits. Most
cellular effects of cAMP are mediated through PKA. cAMP-induced dissociation of holoenzyme
releases a dimer of cAMP-bound regulatory subunits and free monomeric catalytic subunits
that serine/threonine phosphorylate many cytoplasmic and nuclear substrates.;
