About Pak2

Chromosome 16: 31,835,108-31,898,160 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001009.3

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 297 orthologues, 35 paralogues and is associated with 30 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in placenta adult (RPKM 14.2), bladder adult (RPKM 12.7) and 28 other tissues.

Summary

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to organic cyclic compound and dendritic spine development. Located in postsynaptic density. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain and corpus striatum. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ductal carcinoma in situ. Orthologous to human PAK2 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
