Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables cAMP binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of receptor recycling; response to ischemia; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; regulation of heart rate; and sinoatrial node cell development. Located in several cellular components, including bicellular tight junction; lateral plasma membrane; and sarcolemma. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; heart; leg muscle; reproductive system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2X. Orthologous to human BVES (blood vessel epicardial substance).
