Summary: Enables cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity; protein kinase binding activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; regulation of glutamatergic synaptic transmission; and spontaneous exocytosis of neurotransmitter. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of cAMP-dependent protein kinase complex. Is active in neuromuscular junction; postsynapse; and presynapse. Biomarker of amphetamine abuse and brain ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adrenal cortical adenoma; congestive heart failure; fibrolamellar carcinoma; and primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease 4. Orthologous to human PRKACA (protein kinase cAMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
