Prkacb Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables ATP binding activity; cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Involved in protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway; neural tube development; and regulation of protein processing. Located in ciliary base. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver and biliary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human PRKACB (protein kinase cAMP-activated catalytic subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 mouse Prkacb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
