About Pak1

Primary_assembly 1: 152,111,188-152,226,383 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026974.1

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 216 orthologues, 36 paralogues and is associated with 20 phenotypes. Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 564.9), Adrenal (RPKM 131.3) and 7 other tissues.

Summary

Enables protein kinase binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; nervous system development; and positive regulation of cell migration. Located in several cellular components, including Z disc; intercalated disc; and ruffle. Biomarker of brain ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; renal cell carcinoma; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human PAK1 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1).
