Important Note:
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cytokinesis, smooth muscle contraction, the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions, and the activation of the c-fos serum response element. This protein, which is an isozyme of ROCK1 is a target for the small GTPase Rho.

- These findings demonstrate a central role of the GEF-H1/Rho/ROCK-II signaling pathway in the disassembly of apical junctional complex in epithelial cells.
- Inhibition of ROCK activity in human-derived cells enhanced either bacterial adhesion or adhesion and entry in an InlF-independent manner, further suggesting a host species or cell type-specific role for InlF.
- Rock1 and 2 are activated in response to wounding. ROCK activities enhance cell proliferation and epithelial differentiation, but negatively modulate cell migration and adhesion and therefore play a role in regulating corneal epithelial wound healing.
- Rock potently stimulates the differentiation of resting fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and the production of extracellular matrix in scleroderma fibroblasts.
- ROCKI and possibly ROCKII are key factors in regulation of motility/invasion of breast cancer cells
- a feedback loop between Rho/ROCK, Src, and phosphorylated Cav1 in tumor cell protrusions, identifying a novel function for Cav1 in tumor metastasis that may contribute to the poor prognosis of some Cav1-expressing tumors.
- a major haplotype block at the ROCK2 locus is recessively associated with a lower risk of hypertension
- ROCK2 activity and dimerization were dependent upon the interaction between Thr(405) of the hydrophobic motif and Asp(39) of the N-terminal extension. The reciprocal exchange of these residues was permissive for kinase activity, but not for dimerization.
- ROCK1 and ROCK2 regulated myosin light chain phosphatase. ROCK isoforms had distinct and opposing effects on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) morphology and ROCK2, but not ROCK1, had a predominant role in VSMC contractility.
