Active Recombinant Human ROCK2 Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: ROCK2-1879H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human ROCK2 (5-554) was expressed using baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells with an N-terminal His tag.

Specification

• Description: 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.

Q&As

Discuss the role of ROCK2 in smooth muscle contraction and vascular tone.

ROCK2 is a key regulator of smooth muscle contraction, influencing vascular tone by phosphorylating myosin light chain and promoting actin-myosin interaction.

Describe the molecular crosstalk between ROCK2 and other signaling pathways.

ROCK2 interacts with various signaling pathways, including Wnt, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK pathways, forming a network that regulates cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation.

How does ROCK2 contribute to the regulation of cell cycle progression?

ROCK2 can influence the cell cycle by regulating cyclin-dependent kinase activity and promoting the phosphorylation of proteins involved in cell cycle checkpoints.

What are the implications of ROCK2 in cell migration and invasion?

ROCK2 is involved in the regulation of cell migration and invasion by controlling actin dynamics and focal adhesion turnover, influencing processes like metastasis in cancer.

Discuss the role of ROCK2 in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton.

ROCK2 phosphorylates various downstream targets, such as myosin light chain, leading to actin-myosin contraction and the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.
