Recombinant Rat Rock2 Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: Rock2-2026R
• Product Overview: Recombinant Rat Rock2 Protein (Leu904-Gly1140) with N-His tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: Predicted to enable Rho-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy; positive regulation of connective tissue replacement; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within Rho protein signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; cytosol; and spindle pole centrosome. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; centrosome; and glutamatergic synapse. Orthologous to human ROCK2 (Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2).
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Rat
• Tag: His
• Form: Freeze-dried powder
• Molecular Mass: Predicted Molecular Mass: 31.0 kDa
  Accurate Molecular Mass: 31 kDa
• Protein length: Leu904-Gly1140
• Purity: > 90%
• Applications: Positive Control; Immunogen; SDS-PAGE; WB.
• Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate.

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.
