Akap1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including enzyme binding activity; protein kinase A regulatory subunit binding activity; and tubulin binding activity. Involved in apoptotic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brown fat; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human AKAP1 (A-kinase anchoring protein 1). [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 Akap1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
