PKA beta Antibodies

Target Information

The catalytic subunit C-beta of PKA (PRKACB) is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family (the PKA catalytic subunit consist of three gene products: C-alpha, C-beta, and C-gamma) and has been assigned to human chromosome region 1p36.1. PRKACB is derived from a gene distinct from C-alpha and shows tissue-specific expression. At the amino acid level C-alpha and C-beta showed 93% homology. The inactive holoenzyme of AMPK is a tetramer composed of two regulatory and two catalytic subunits. cAMP causes the dissociation of the inactive holoenzyme into a dimer of regulatory subunits bound to four cAMP and two free monomeric catalytic subunits. Four different regulatory subunits and three catalytic subunits of AMPK have been identified in humans.
