Function

Protein Kinase A (PKA) helps animals cope with stressful situations. In the "flight or fight" response, muscle becomes primed for action as a result of the activity of PKA. Upon activation by cAMP, PKA alters the activities of target proteins by phopshorylating specific serine or threonine residues.
