Function |
Regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinases involved in cAMP signaling in cells. Type II regulatory chains mediate membrane association by binding to anchoring proteins, including the MAP2 kinase.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21423175}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21423175}. Note=Colocalizes with PJA2 in the cytoplasm and the cell membrane.
|
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.
