About Pak1

Chromosome 7: 97,437,748-97,561,588 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001000.3

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 217 orthologues, 35 paralogues and is associated with 14 phenotypes. Biased expression in cortex adult (RPKM 87.8), cerebellum adult (RPKM 86.8) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in trans-synaptic signaling by endocannabinoid, modulating synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neurotransmitter secretion; and observational learning. Located in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; growth cone; and postsynaptic density. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; renal cell carcinoma; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human PAK1 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1).
