PKA Cancer Research Results

PKA, protein kinase A: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Protein kinase A (PKA)
PKA is composed of regulatory (R) and catalytic (C) subunits. Binding of cAMP to the regulatory subunits releases the catalytic subunits, which then phosphorylate target proteins.
– Increased PKA activity has been associated with the activation of downstream signaling pathways that promote cell growth and survival.
– Thus, the level of PKA activation (often indirectly inferred by phosphorylation status of downstream targets) can serve as a marker for tumor progression and treatment resistance.
PKA does not act in isolation—it interacts with other signaling pathways (e.g., MAPK, PI3K/AKT).
