Gene information for PAK1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5058
Official gene symbolPAK1
Full namep21 protein (Cdc42/Rac)-activated kinase 1
Aliases,MGC130000,MGC130001,PAKalpha,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a family member of serine/threonine p21-activating kinases, known as PAK proteins. These proteins are critical effectors that link RhoGTPases to cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling, and they serve as targets for the small GTP binding proteins Cdc42 and Rac. This specific family member regulates cell motility and morphology. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
