PRKAR1A or the cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunit type I alpha, is part of the type 1 PKA holoenzyme. PRKAR1A is found to be a tissue-specific extinguisher that down-regulates the expression of seven liver genes in hepatoma x fibroblast hybrids (1). Mutations in PRKAR1A gene cause Carney complex (CNC) and PRKAR1A can fuse to the RET protooncogene by gene rearrangement and form the thyroid tumor-specific chimeric oncogene known as PTC2 (2). A nonconventional nuclear localization sequence (NLS) has been found for this protein which suggests a role in DNA replication via the protein serving as a nuclear transport protein for the second subunit of the Replication Factor C (RFC40). PRKAR1A Protein is ideal for investigators involved in Signaling Proteins, Cellular Proteins, Apoptosis/Autophagy, Cardiovascular Disease, ERK/MAPK Pathway, Inflammation, Invasion/Metastasis, Metabolic Disorder, Neurobiology, NfkB Pathway, and PKA/PKC Pathway research.
Store product at –70°C. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
