Definition: A type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunit that plays a role in confering CYCLIC AMP activation of protein kinase activity. It has a higher affinity for cAMP than that of the CYCLIC-AMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASE RIIBETA SUBUNIT. Binding of this subunit by A KINASE ANCHOR PROTEINS may play a role in the cellular localization of type II protein kinase A.
Other names cAMP Dependent Protein Kinase, Type 2alpha Regulat; cAMP Dependent Protein Kinase type II alpha Regula; Regulatory Subunit RIIalpha, Cyclic AMP Dependent ; Cyclic AMP Dependent Protein Kinase RIIalpha Subun; cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase, Type 2alpha-Regulat; cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase type II-alpha Regula; cAMP Protein Kinase RIIalpha; Regulatory Subunit RIIalpha, Cyclic-AMP-Dependent ; RIIalpha, cAMP Protein Kinase; RII alpha, cAMP Protein Kinase; Cyclic-AMP-Dependent Protein Kinase RIIalpha Subun; Protein Kinase A, RII alpha Subunit
