kin-1

Caenorhabditis elegans

Enables cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Involved in positive regulation of oocyte maturation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Predicted to be part of cAMP-dependent protein kinase complex. Expressed in several structures, including excretory cell; gonad; head muscle; intestine; and ventral cord neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including adrenal cortical adenoma; platelet-type bleeding disorder 19; and primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease. Is an ortholog of human PRKACA (protein kinase cAMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha).
