Discrete localization of type II PKA is due to association of regulatory subunit with
scaffold protein, A Kinase Anchoring Protein-AKAP; family now includes > 50 members
All contain an amphipathic helix of 14-18 residues that functions to bind to the N-termini of
the PKA-RII dimer
Each AKAP contains a unique subcellular targeting domain that restricts its location within
the cell
