PHKA2

protein-coding

phosphorylase kinase regulatory subunit alpha 2, the group of Phosphorylase kinase subunits

Gene summary

Phosphorylase kinase is a polymer of 16 subunits, four each of alpha, beta, gamma and delta. The alpha subunit includes the skeletal muscle and hepatic isoforms, and the hepatic isoform is encoded by this gene. The beta subunit is the same in both the muscle and hepatic isoforms, and encoded by one gene. The gamma subunit also includes the skeletal muscle and hepatic isoforms, which are encoded by two different genes. The delta subunit is a calmodulin and can be encoded by three different genes. The gamma subunits contain the active site of the enzyme, whereas the alpha and beta subunits have regulatory functions controlled by phosphorylation. The delta subunit mediates the dependence of the enzyme on calcium concentration. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 9A, also known as X-linked liver glycogenosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been reported, but the full-length nature of these variants has not been determined.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

Manifestation: Biochemical; Gastrointestinal; Musculoskeletal; Neurologic

Intervention: Biochemical; Gastrointestinal

Rationale: The condition can include manifestations such as hypoglycemia, ketosis, and growth retardation, and recommendations for care include laboratory-based monitoring (eg, including liver function tests, glucose, and ketones), radiological monitoring (abdominal imaging), and nutritional recommendations and avoidance of certain medications in order to help improve metabolic to control and prevent the primary complications; Specific care during pregnancy has been recommended

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_000292.3. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Phosphorylase b kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of serine in certain substrates, including troponin I. The alpha chain may bind calmodulin.;
Disease
DISEASE: Glycogen storage disease 9A (GSD9A) [MIM:306000]: A metabolic disorder resulting in a mild liver glycogenosis with clinical symptoms that include hepatomegaly, growth retardation, muscle weakness, elevation of glutamate-pyruvate transaminase and glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and fasting hyperketosis. Two subtypes are known: type 1 or classic type with no phosphorylase kinase activity in liver or erythrocytes, and type 2 or variant type with no phosphorylase kinase activity in liver, but normal activity in erythrocytes. Unlike other glycogenosis diseases, glycogen storage disease type 9A is generally a benign condition. Patients improve with age and are often asymptomatic as adults. Accurate diagnosis is therefore also of prognostic interest. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10330341, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17689125, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7549948, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7847371, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8733133, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8733134, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9600238}.
