OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. The encoded protein is a catalytic subunit of cAMP (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase, which mediates signalling though cAMP. cAMP signaling is important to a number of processes, including cell proliferaton and differentiation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PRKACB can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PRKACB as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PRKACB could matter depends on whether native PRKACB is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PRKACB is annotated at the cell surface, where native PRKACB is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PRKACB as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
