Official gene symbol | | ROCK2 |
Full name | | Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 |
Aliases | | ,KIAA0619, |
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] |
