Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5062
Gene name P21 (RAC1) activated kinase 2
Gene symbol PAK2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
KNO2PAK65PAKgamma
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3q29
Summary The p21 activated kinases (PAK) are critical effectors that link Rho GTPases to cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling. The PAK proteins are a family of serine/threonine kinases that serve as targets for the small GTP binding proteins, CDC42 an
