description | A-kinase anchor protein 5 (AKAP5), also known as AKAP79, is a PKA anchoring protein that binds to adenylyl cyclase type 8 (AC8) and to regulate its responsiveness to store-operated Ca(2) entry (SOCE) []. The AKAP79 and AC8 interaction may occur in lipid raft domains of the plasma membrane, with palmitoylation of AKAP79 plays an important role in targeting the AKAP to the cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich regions of the plasma membrane where it can impact on local Ca2 -stimulated AC8 activity []. |
