AKAP7 (A-kinase anchor protein 7 isoform gamma isoform alpha) , also known as AKAP18, belongs to the A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) family, a group of functionally related proteins that bind to a regulatory subunit (RII) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and target the enzyme to specific subcellular compartments. AKAP 7 is expressed in brain, heart, lung, pancreas and skeletal muscle. AKAP 7 binds PKA to the plasma membrane, and permits functional coupling to the L-type calcium channel.Source:Recombinant corresponding to aa1-81 from human AKAP7, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli.Molecular Weight:~11.5kD (105aa) confirmed by MALDI-TOFAA Sequence:MGSSHHHHHH SSGLVPRGSH MGSHMGQLCC FPFSRDEGKI SEKNGGEPDD AELVRLSKRL VENAVLKAVQ QYLEETQNKN KPGEGSSVKT EAADQNGNDN ENNRKStorage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
