PKIB cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor beta

Gene ID: 5570, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PRKACN2

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor family. The encoded protein may play a role in the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway by interacting with the catalytic subunit of PKA, and overexpression of this gene may play a role in prostate cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
