AKAP8L Gene Summary [Human]
Enables histone deacetylase binding activity and lamin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mitotic chromosome condensation; regulation of histone modification; and regulation of mRNA export from nucleus. Located in chromatin; cytoplasm; and nuclear lumen. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human AKAP8L often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
