Functioncatalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,enzyme regulation:Activated by RHOA binding.,function:Protein kinase that phosphorylates a large number of important signaling proteins, and thereby regulates the assembly of the actin cytoskeleton. Promotes formation of stress fibers and of focal adhesion complexes. Plays a role in smooth muscle contraction.,miscellaneous:Inhibited by Y-27632.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family.,similarity:Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PH domain.,similarity:Contains 1 phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc finger.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,similarity:Contains 1 REM (Hr1) repeat.,subcellular location:Cytoplasmic, and associated with actin microfilaments and the plasma membrane.,subunit:Homodim
Subcellular LocationCytoplasm. Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein . Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasmic, and associated with actin microfilaments and the plasma membrane. .
ExpressionExpressed in the brain (at protein level).
BackgroundRho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2(ROCK2) Homo sapiens 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],
