PKA Substrate – Growth Factors and Cytokines

Substrate peptide for adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and related kinases, for use in kinase assays. The peptide sequence is based on the cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor alpha (amino acid 15-23). Protein kinase A (PKA) also known as cAMP-dependent protein kinase is a family of serine/threonine protein kinase enzymes whose activity is regulated by cyclic AMP (cAMP). PKA is involved in a plethora of roles within the cell including: regulation of glycogen, sugar and lipid metabolism and roles within adipocytes and hepatocytes, nucleus accumbens neurons, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and in memory formation.
