p164 ROCK 2 Rho kinase 2 ROCK 2 Rock II Rock2m ROK alpha ROKalpha
Gene Full Name
Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2
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]
