Rock2 - Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 Gene
Also Known as ROK; ROCK-II
Species: Rattus norvegicus
About Rock2
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 309 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 9 phenotypes. Biased expression in Heart (RPKM 488.3), Lung (RPKM 32.5) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
Predicted to enable Rho-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy; positive regulation of connective tissue replacement; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within Rho protein signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; cytosol; and spindle pole centrosome. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; centrosome; and glutamatergic synapse. Orthologous to human ROCK2 (Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
