Gene Reference Data
Alternate Names
A kinase (PRKA) anchor protein 8; AKAP 95; AKAP-8; AKAP95; AKAP-95; A-kinase anchor protein 8; A-kinase anchor protein 95 kDa; A-kinase anchor protein, 95kDa
Description (eCommerce)
AKAP8/AKAP95 has been characterized as a 95 kDa protein kinase A (PKA)-anchoring protein and regulatory subunit of PKA that functions to recruit the condensin complex for chromosome condensation during mitosis. A role in DNA replication has also been demonstrated through its interaction with the pre-replication complex component, MCM2 (mini-chromosome maintenance 2). Inhibition of AKAP8/AKAP95 association with MCM2 inhibits replication initiation and elongation in vitro. AKAP8/AKAP95 has also been shown to be involved in apoptosis. KAP8/AKAP95 associates with caspase 3 and serves as a carrier to transport caspase 3 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus to induce morphological changes in the nucleus.
Description (Vector)
AKAP8 encodes a member of the A-kinase anchor protein family. A-kinase anchor proteins are scaffold proteins that contain a binding domain for the RI/RII subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and recruit PKA and other signaling molecules to specific subcellular locations. AKAP8 encodes a nuclear A-kinase anchor protein that binds to the RII alpha subunit of PKA and may play a role in chromosome condensation during mitosis by targeting PKA and the condensin complex to chromatin. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 9.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
