Gene information for ROCK2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9475
Official gene symbolROCK2
Full nameRho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2
Aliases,KIAA0619,
Gene summaryThe 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]
