General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Displays serine/threonine-specific phosphorylation of myelin basic protein and histone (MBP) in vitro. Ref.10 Ref.11 |
| Catalytic activity | ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. |
| Subunit structure | Binds ROCK1 and LKAP. Interacts with PARD3. Interacts with NISCH By similarity. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.13 |
| Subcellular location | Isoform LIMK2a: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note: Isoform LIMK2a is distributed in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Ref.2 Isoform LIMK2b: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note: Isoform LIMK2b occurs mainly in the cytoplasm and is scarcely translocated to the nucleus. Ref.2 |
| Tissue specificity | Highest expression in the placenta; moderate level in liver, lung, kidney, and pancreas. LIMK2a is found to be more abundant then LIMK2b in liver, colon, stomach, and spleen, while in brain, kidney, and placenta LIMK2b is the dominant form. In adult lung, both LIMK2a and LIMK2b is nearly equally observed. Ref.2 |
| Post-translational modification | Phosphorylated on serine and/or threonine residues by ROCK1. Ref.11 Ref.12 |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Contains 2 LIM zinc-binding domains. Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain. Contains 1 protein kinase domain. |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAB54055.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction. |
