Rare case of prostate cancer displayed strong cytoplasmic staining in a fraction of tumor cells. Moderate nuclear membranous positivity was observed in a case of melanoma. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
AKAP14 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
AKAP28
Description
A kinase (PRKA) anchor protein 14 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) are a group of structurally diverse proteins, which have the common function of binding to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and confining the holoenzyme to discrete locations within the cell. This gene encodes a member of the AKAP family. The protein anchors PKA in ciliary axonemes and, in this way, may play a role in regulating ciliary beat frequency. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
