Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitor family. This protein was demonstrated to interact with and inhibit the activities of both C alpha and C beta catalytic subunits of the PKA. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Extremely potent competitive inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity, this protein interacts with the catalytic subunit of the enzyme after the cAMP-induced dissociation of its regulatory chains.,miscellaneous:The inhibitory site contains regions very similar to the hinge regions (sites that directly interact with the enzyme active site) and "pseudosubstrate site" of the regulatory chains; but, unlike these chains, PKI does not contain cAMP-binding sites. The arginine residues within the inhibitory site are essential for inhibition and recognition of the enzyme active site.,similarity:Belongs to the PKI family.,
