Acts as an anchor for a PKA-signaling complex onto mitotic chromosomes, which is required for maintenance of chromosomes in a condensed form throughout mitosis. Recruits condensin complex subunit NCAPD2 to chromosomes required for chromatin condensation; the function appears to be independent from PKA-anchoring. May help to deliver cyclin D\/E to CDK4 to facilitate cell cycle progression. Required for cell cycle G2\/M transition and histone deacetylation during mitosis. In mitotic cells recruits HDAC3 to the vicinity of chromatin leading to deacetylation and subsequent phosphorylation at 'Ser-10' of histone H3; in this function may act redundantly with AKAP8L. Involved in nuclear retention of RPS6KA1 upon ERK activation thus inducing cell proliferation. May be involved in regulation of DNA replication by acting as scaffold for MCM2. Enhances HMT activity of the KMT2 family MLL4\/WBP7 complex and is involved in transcriptional regulation. In a teratocarcinoma cell line is involved in retinoic acid-mediated induction of developmental genes implicating H3 'Lys-4' methylation. May be involved in recruitment of active CASP3 to the nucleus in apoptotic cells. May act as a carrier protein of GJA1 for its transport to the nucleus. May play a repressive role in the regulation of rDNA transcription. Preferentially binds GC-rich DNA in vitro. In cells, associates with ribosomal RNA (rRNA) chromatin, preferentially with rRNA promoter and transcribed regions. Involved in modulation of Toll-like receptor signaling. Required for the cAMP-dependent suppression of TNF-alpha in early stages of LPS-induced macrophage activation; the function probably implicates targeting of PKA to NFKB1.. When interpreting results, consider species context, domain architecture, and whether the recombinant format represents full-length or a defined region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfiling cytokine\/chemokine pathways with standardized recombinant reagents to compare conditions across experiments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReceptor–ligand binding characterization to support pathway modeling and assay development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding and interaction assays:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify partner binding and rank conditions using plate-based formats or biophysical methods (SPR\/BLI).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnzymology:\u003c\/strong\u003e assess catalytic activity and compare substrate preferences or inhibitor effects using appropriate controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssay development:\u003c\/strong\u003e use as a standard, spike-in control, or positive control where consistent specifications are required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpretation typically relies on relative comparisons (treated vs control, mutant vs wild-type, or dose\/time series) using consistent sample handling and appropriate normalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-translational modifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e expression system can affect glycosylation and processing; interpret differences cautiously when comparing to native protein.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and domains:\u003c\/strong\u003e expressed regions may not capture all isoform-specific features; match fragment boundaries to your assay’s binding site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e include blank matrix controls, tag-only controls (where relevant), and orthogonal readouts (e.g., WB\/qPCR\/ELISA) to support interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt Knowledgebase entry for AKAP8 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/ - NCBI Gene for AKAP8 — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/ - RCSB Protein Data Bank — RCSB PDB — https:\/\/www.rcsb.org\/ - PubMed (reviews and primary literature) — NCBI — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/ - Ensembl gene summary — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53058995945837,"sku":"CSB-EP001530HU-1MG","price":2466.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53059100803437,"sku":"CSB-EP001530HU-100UG","price":578.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53059100836205,"sku":"CSB-EP001530HU-20UG","price":306.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-EP001530HU-SDS.jpg?v=1772271090","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-a-kinase-anchor-protein-8-akap8-partial-bhp10511751","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
