Pakap Gene Summary [Mouse]

This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring Palm2 (paralemmin 2) and Akap2 (A kinase (PRKA) anchor protein 2) genes on chromosome 4. The readthrough transcript encodes a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with each individual gene product. Similar readthrough transcription has also been observed in human, as described in PMID: 11478809. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

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 Pakap often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • protein kinase A binding
  • binding protein
  • protein domain specific binding
  • protein binding
  • MIU-linker domain found in unconventional myosin-VI
