An Hsp70 promoter drives expression of a constitutively active form of the Mmus\Prkaca protein kinase A (PKA) catalytic subunit. The coding sequence contains amino acid substitutions H87Q and W196R; this results in a protein that does not bind the regulatory subunit with high affinity and hence is constitutively active, irrespective of cAMP concentration.
report comment: The mouse PKA allele carried in this construct is constitutively active (reduced binding to regulatory subunit).Selectable marker not specified.
