Gene:
protein kinase (cAMP-dependent, catalytic) inhibitor gamma
Gene ID:
199459
Symbol:
PKIG
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitor family. Studies of a similar protein in mice suggest that this protein acts as a potent competitive PKA inhibitor, and is a predominant form of PKA inhibitors in various tissues. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been reported.
