About Rock2

Primary_assembly 6: 39,679,082-39,774,031 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026979.1

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]
