AKAP 9 Antibody (7E12) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a kappa light chain antibody that detects AKAP 9 protein of human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-AKAP 9 antibody (7E12) is available as a non-conjugated format. AKAP 9 protein, also known as AKAP 450, is a large scaffolding protein consisting of 3,911 amino acids that plays a crucial role in the spatial organization of signaling pathways within cells. AKAP 9 is primarily localized to centrosomes and Golgi apparatus throughout cell cycles, which is essential for maintaining protein kinase A (PKA) signaling specificity. PKA compartmentalization is vital for function, allowing precise phosphorylation of substrates in distinct cellular locations, thereby influencing various cellular processes. AKAP 9 achieves this by anchoring PKA and other signaling molecules, facilitating interactions and ensuring signaling cascades activate only in appropriate cellular contexts. AKAP 9 undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in multiple isoforms, including AKAP 350 and Yotiao, with Yotiao predominantly expressed in pancreas and skeletal muscle. Yotiao isoform′s unique C-terminus contains an additional 12 amino acid sequence absent in AKAP 9, and interacts with NR1 subunit of NMDA receptor, promoting cAMP-dependent modulation of receptor activity at synapses. This interaction is significant for brain development and synaptic plasticity, highlighting AKAP 9′s importance in cellular signaling and neurological functions.
