Summary: Protein kinase A (PKA) has diverse functions in neurons. At rest, the subcellular localization of PKA is controlled by A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). However, the dynamics of PKA upon activation remain poorly understood.

Introduction: Physiological pH and chemical pKa are two sides of the same coin in defining the ionization of a drug in the human body. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and pH-partition hypothesis form the theoretical base to define the impact of pH-pKa

IPC 2.0: prediction of isoelectric point and pKa dissociation constants
The isoelectric point is the pH at which a particular molecule is electrically neutral due to the equilibrium of positive and negative charges. In proteins and peptides, this depends on the dissociation constant (pKa) of charged groups of seven amino ...

The regulation of PKA signaling in obesity and in the maintenance of metabolic health.
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) system represents a primary cell-signaling pathway throughout systems and across species. PKA facilitates the actions of hormones, neurotransmitters and other signaling molecules that bind G-protein coupled ...

High glucose induces Nox4 expression and podocyte apoptosis through the Smad3/ezrin/PKA pathway
Podocytes are the major target in proteinuric kidney diseases such as diabetic nephropathy. The underlying molecular mechanisms by which high glucose (HG) results in podocyte damage remain unclear.

A method for the determination of the dissociation constants of acids with an uncalibrated glass electrode [PDF]
A method is presented for the determination of absolute pKa values of acids in solvents with a high dielectric constant by potentiometry with an uncalibrated glass electrode; in the determination, the glass electrode becomes calibrated.

Steady-state modulation of voltage-gated K+ channels in rat arterial smooth muscle by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and protein phosphatase 2B [PDF]
Voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv) are important regulators of membrane potential in vascular smooth muscle cells, which is integral to controlling intracellular Ca2+ concentration and regulating vascular tone. Previous work indicates that Kv channels
