Entrez gene summary

The p21 activated kinases (PAK) are critical effectors that link Rho GTPases to cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling. The PAK proteins are a family of serine/threonine kinases that serve as targets for the small GTP binding proteins, CDC42 and RAC1, and have been implicated in a wide range of biological activities. The protein encoded by this gene is activated by proteolytic cleavage during caspase-mediated apoptosis, and may play a role in regulating the apoptotic events in the dying cell.

Staining summary

Most normal tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Additional membranous staining was observed in glandular cells of the gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder and fallopian tube. The non-germinal center cells in lymph node displayed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Cells of the central nervous system and male genitalia were negative.
