The protein encoded by this gene is a regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), which is involved in the signaling pathway of the second messenger cAMP. Two regulatory and two catalytic subunits form the PKA holoenzyme, disbands after cAMP binding. The holoenzyme is involved in many cellular events, including ion transport, metabolism, and transcription. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

Forensic Context
A study in rats demonstrated that the protein-coding gene transcript Prkar1b is a member of a brain co-expression module associated with voluntary alcohol consumption [Saba et al. DOI:10.1111/Gbb.12698].
