A-kinase anchoring protein 9 (AKAP9) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a regulator of protein kinase A. Missense mutations, synonymous mutations, nonsense mutations, frameshift deletions, frameshift insertions, and inframe insertions are observed in cancers such as stomach cancer, skin cancer, and endometrial cancer.

AKAP9 is altered in 0.57% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, mixed lobular and ductal breast carcinoma, breast invasive lobular carcinoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
