MeSH Heading: rho-Associated Kinases
Tree Number(s): D08.811.913.696.620.682.700.814; D12.776.476.563.814
Unique ID: D054460
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054460
Scope Note: A group of intracellular-signaling serine threonine kinases that bind to RHO GTP-BINDING PROTEINS. They were originally found to mediate the effects of rhoA GTP-BINDING PROTEIN on the formation of STRESS FIBERS and FOCAL ADHESIONS. Rho-associated kinases have specificity for a variety of substrates including MYOSIN-LIGHT-CHAIN PHOSPHATASE and LIM KINASES.
