Differential expression of the protein kinase A subunits in normal adrenal glands and adrenocortical adenomas
Abstract Somatic mutations in protein kinase A catalytic α subunit (PRKACA) were found to be causative for 30–40% of cortisol-producing adenomas (CPA) of the adrenal gland, rendering PKA signalling constitutively active. In its resting state, PKA is a stable and inactive heterotetramer, consisting o...
