PRKACA wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human PRKACA wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19p13.1 and is approximately 26 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cAMP-dependent protein kinase, alpha-catalytic subunit protein, plays a role in the phosphorylation of numerous cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins in response to activation by the signaling molecule cyclic AMP.

**Synonyms:** - PKACA - PPNAD4 - Protein Kinase A, C-Alpha Subunit Gene - Protein Kinase cAMP-Activated Catalytic Subunit Alpha wt Allele - Protein Kinase, cAMP-Dependent, Alpha Catalytic Subunit Gene - Protein Kinase, cAMP-Dependent, Catalytic, Alpha Gene
