Abstract:

Cardiac hypertrophy is the compensatory response of the heart in response to stimulation. Cardiac hypertrophy can improve the physiological function of the heart, but pathological myocardiac hypertrophy can cause a series of adverse effects on the heart such as arrhythmia, heart failure and sudden death risk. Recent studies revealed that AKAPs participates in the regulation of pathological myocardiac hypertrophy with multiple signal factors. Here we review the role of the A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAPs) in the regulation of pathological hypertrophy and its clinical significance.

Key words: A-kinase-anchoring protein, myocardiac hypertrophy, mAKAP, AKAP121, AKAP-Lbc
