PAK2 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

PAK2: a protein kinase of the STE20 family. Critical effector linking RhoGTPases to cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling. Activated by proteolytic cleavage during caspase-mediated apoptosis, and may play a role in regulating the apoptotic events in the dying cell.

Protein type: Protein kinase, STE; Kinase, protein; EC 2.7.11.1; Protein kinase, Ser/Thr (non-receptor); STE group; STE20 family; PAKA subfamily

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 3q29

Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; cytoplasm; plasma membrane; cytosol

Molecular Function: protein serine/threonine kinase activity; identical protein binding; protein binding; protein tyrosine kinase activator activity; protein kinase binding; ATP binding; protein kinase activity; receptor signaling protein serine/threonine kinase activity

Biological Process: axon guidance; viral reproduction; apoptosis; protein amino acid autophosphorylation; signal transduction; protein amino acid phosphorylation; T cell receptor signaling pathway; regulation of defense response to virus by virus; regulation of apoptosis; peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; positive regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; regulation of growth; T cell costimulation; innate immune response; negative regulation of protein kinase activity; mitotic cell cycle; vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway; phosphorylation; negative regulation of apoptosis; cell structure disassembly during apoptosis
