Background： The A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) are a group of structurally diverse proteins, which have the common function of binding to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and confining the holoenzyme to discrete locations within the cell. This gene encodes a member of the AKAP family. The encoded protein is localized to the sperm flagellum and may be involved in the regulation of sperm motility. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function：developmental stage:Post-meiotic phase of spermatogenesis.,domain:RI-alpha binding site, predicted to form an amphipathic helix, could participate in protein-protein interactions with a complementary surface on the R-subunit dimer.,function:Major structural component of sperm fibrous sheath. Plays a role in sperm motility.,similarity:Belongs to the AKAP110 family.,subcellular location:Localizes to the principle piece of the sperm flagellum.,subunit:Interacts with PRKAR1A and PRKAR2A.,tissue specificity:Testis specific; only expressed in round spermatids.,

Subcellular Location：Cell projection, cilium, flagellum . Localizes to the principle piece of the sperm flagellum.

Expression：Testis specific; only expressed in round spermatids.
