A-kinase anchor protein 13 is a

small GTP-binding protein
.

Function

A-kinase anchor protein 13/Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 13 is

enzymes to regulate cellular functions.[10] In particular, active Rho is a major regulator of the cell actin cytoskeleton.[10]

AKAP13 is a member of a group of four RhoGEF proteins known to be activated by

GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) to increase the rate of GTP hydrolysis of G12/G13 alpha proteins.[12]

The A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) are a group of structurally diverse proteins that have the common function of binding to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA), thus confining the holoenzyme to discrete locations within the cell. The AKAP13 gene encodes a member of the AKAP family since the protein binds tightly to PKA, especially in the heart.

Alternative splicing of this gene results in at least 3 transcript variants encoding different isoforms. All three contain the Dbl oncogene homology (DH) domain plus Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain (DH/PH domain) characteristic of Rho family GEFs, while only the longer two isoforms also contain the AKAP domain.[7] Therefore, these isoforms may function as scaffolding proteins to coordinate Rho signaling and protein kinase A signaling.
