ROCK

ROCK

The AGC (PKA/PKG/PKC) family of serine-threonine kinases includes ROCK (Rho-associated protein kinase). Animals such as chicken, zebrafish, Xenopus, and mammals also have ROCKs (ROCK1 and ROCK2). With a molecular weight of 158 kDa, human ROCK1 is a significant RhoA small GTPase downstream effector. A kinase domain, an acoiled-coil region, and a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain make up a mammalian ROCK. If RhoA-GTP is absent, the kinase activity of ROCKs is reduced by an autoinhibitory intramolecular fold. Since ROCK is a downstream effector protein of the small GTPase Rho, one of the primary regulators of the cytoskeleton, ROCK is involved in a variety of different cellular phenomena.
