    Protein Kinase A (PKA), also known as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes. It is activated by cyclic AMP (cAMP) and is involved in pathways that control cell growth, metabolism, and gene expression. PKA works by adding phosphate groups to specific proteins, which can alter their activity and function.
