AKAP4


Description

AKAP4, also known as A-kinase anchoring protein 4, is a multi-domain protein that plays a crucial role in organizing and regulating signaling pathways within cells. It acts as a scaffolding protein, bringing together various signaling molecules at specific locations within the cell. This intricate dance of interactions allows AKAP4 to fine-tune cellular responses to various stimuli. AKAP4 is found in a variety of tissues and is involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including neuronal transmission, muscle contraction, and heart function.
