    Summary
    Enables protein kinase A binding activity. Involved in flagellated sperm motility and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway; establishment of protein localization; and sperm flagellum assembly. Located in Z disc; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and sperm flagellum. Orthologous to human AKAP4 (A-kinase anchoring protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
