Function |
May anchor the PKA protein to cytoskeletal and/or organelle-associated proteins, targeting the signal carried by cAMP to specific intracellular effectors. Association with to the beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2-AR) not only regulates beta2-AR signaling pathway, but also the activation by PKA by switching off the beta2-AR signaling cascade.

Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21771783}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21771783}. Note=Associates with lipid rafts.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Predominantly in the cerebral cortex and the postsynaptic densities of the forebrain, and to a lesser extent in adrenal medulla, lung and anterior pituitary.
