Function
Protein kinase which is a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton and cell polarity. Involved in regulation of smooth muscle contraction, actin cytoskeleton organization, stress fiber and focal adhesion formation, neurite retraction, cell adhesion and motility via phosphorylation of ADD1, BRCA2, CNN1, EZR, DPYSL2, EP300, MSN, MYL9/MLC2, NPM1, RDX, PPP1R12A and VIM. Phosphorylates SORL1 and IRF4. Acts as a negative regulator of VEGF-induced angiogenic endothelial cell activation. Positively regulates the activation of p42/MAPK1-p44/MAPK3 and of p90RSK (RPS6KA1) during myogenic differentiation. Plays an important role in the timely initiation of centrosome duplication. Inhibits keratinocyte terminal differentiation. May regulate closure of the eyelids and ventral body wall through organization of actomyosin bundles. Plays a critical role in the regulation of spine and synaptic properties in the hippocampus.

Natural and recombinant Bovine Rho-associated protein kinase 2
Subcellular Location
Cytoplasm Cell membrane Peripheral membrane protein Nucleus Cytoplasm cytoskeleton centrosome Cytoplasmic, and associated with actin microfilaments and the plasma membrane.
Homodimer (By similarity). Interacts with RHOA (activated by GTP), CHORDC1, IRS1, RHOB, RHOC, PPP1R12A, SORL1, EP300 and BRCA2 (By similarity). Interacts with NPM1 and this interaction enhances its activity.
