Gene name

ROCK2

Description

Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2

Protein class

Enzymes, Kinases, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potential transmembrane proteins

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cytokinesis, smooth muscle contraction, the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions, and the activation of the c-fos serum response element. This protein, which is an isozyme of ROCK1 is a target for the small GTPase Rho. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
