Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations in the PRKACA gene encoding the catalytic α subunit of protein kinase A (PKA-C) are responsible for cortisol-producing adrenocortical adenomas. These benign neoplasms contribute to the development of Cushing's syndrome. The majority of these mutations occur at the interface between the two lobes of PKA-C and interfere with the enzyme's ability to recognize substrates and regulatory (R) subunits,...
