Background
The A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) are a group ofstructurally diverse proteins, which have the common function ofbinding to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) andconfining the holoenzyme to discrete locations within the cell.This gene encodes a member of the AKAP family. The encoded proteinis localized to the sperm flagellum and may be involved in theregulation of sperm motility. Alternative splicing of this generesults in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
