Target Details for ROCK2

Target: ROCK2 (rho-Associated, Coiled-Coil Containing Protein Kinase 2 (ROCK2))

Alternative Name: ROCK2 (ROCK2 Products)

Background:

Synonyms: Rho-associated protein kinase 2,2.7.11.1,Rho kinase 2,Rho-associated, coiled-coil-containing protein kinase 2,Rho-associated, coiled-coil-containing protein kinase II,ROCK-II,p164 ROCK-2,ROCK2,KIAA0619,

Tissue Specificity: Placenta and lung.

Background: Rho-associated kinase (ROCK), including the ROCK-I and ROCK-II isoforms, is a protein kinase involved in signaling from Rho to actin cytoskeleton. Serine/threonine kinase ROCK II/Rho kinase, which is an isozyme of ROCK I, is one of the targets for the small GTPase Rho. ROCK II regulates the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions, cytokinesis, smooth muscle contraction, and the activation of c-fos serum response element. Sequencing analysis has shown that human ROCK II contains 1388 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of approximately 161 kDa. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed that the human ROCK II gene is located on chromosome 2p24. Thumkeo et al. concluded that ROCK-II is essential in inhibiting blood coagulation and maintaining blood flow in the endothelium-free labyrinth layer and that loss of ROCK-II leads to thrombus formation, placental dysfunction, intrauterine growth retardation, and fetal death.
