The AKAP9 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC050954) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the AKAP9 protein, which plays a crucial role in cell signaling and regulation of cellular processes. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific and reactive with human samples, making it suitable for use in Western blot applications. By binding to AKAP9, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it an ideal choice for studies in cell biology and signal transduction pathways.AKAP9, also known as A-kinase anchor protein 9, is involved in the organization of signaling complexes within cells, contributing to the regulation of processes such as cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation.
Its importance in cellular function makes it a promising target for research into diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions. Investigating the role of AKAP9 can provide insight into the mechanisms underlying these diseases and potentially lead to the development of targeted therapies aimed at modulating its activity for therapeutic purposes.

Background:
Scaffolding protein that assembles several protein kinases and phosphatases on the centrosome and Golgi apparatus. Required to maintain the integrity of the Golgi apparatus. Recruited to the Golgi apparatus by GM130/GOLGA2 and is required for microtubule nucleation at the cis-side of the Golgi apparatusGM130/GOLGA2.

UniProt Protein Function:
AKAP9: Binds to type II regulatory subunits of protein kinase A. Scaffolding protein that assembles several protein kinases and phosphatases on the centrosome and Golgi apparatus. May be required to maintain the integrity of the Golgi apparatus. Isoform 4 is associated with the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and is specifically found in the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) as well as in neuronal synapses, suggesting a role in the organization of postsynaptic specializations. Defects in AKAP9 are the cause of long QT syndrome type 11 (LQT11). Long QT syndromes are heart disorders characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the ECG and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. They cause syncope and sudden death in response to excercise or emotional stress. They can present with a sentinel event of sudden cardiac death in infancy. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Adaptor/scaffoldChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q21-q22Cellular Component: Golgi apparatus; centrosome; pericentriolar material; voltage-gated potassium channel complex; cytoskeleton; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; cytosolMolecular Function: protein binding; potassium channel regulator activity; protein complex scaffold; receptor bindingBiological Process: synaptic transmission; transport; organelle organization and biogenesis; spermatogenesis; mitotic cell cycle; signal transduction; G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle; positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; Sertoli cell developmentDisease: Long Qt Syndrome 11

NCBI 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. Alternate splicing of this gene results in at least two isoforms that localize to the centrosome and the Golgi apparatus, and interact with numerous signaling proteins from multiple signal transduction pathways. These signaling proteins include type II protein kinase A, serine/threonine kinase protein kinase N, protein phosphatase 1, protein phosphatase 2a, protein kinase C-epsilon and phosphodiesterase 4D3.
