Weighing approximately 72 kDa LIMK1 is expressed in various tissues with significant levels observed in the brain and spinal cord. Some studies highlight its elevated presence in neurons. The LIMK1 gene encodes the protein and its activity is often regulated through phosphorylation processes. Researchers often refer to related proteins like LIMK1\/proteina in discussions about similar functions.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis kinase modulates cell shape migration and differentiation by influencing actin filament networks. LIMK1 associates with regulatory complexes and interacts with several proteins to facilitate cytoskeletal reorganization. It plays an essential part in neural development and synaptic plasticity affecting learning and memory. By phosphorylating key actin-binding proteins like cofilin LIMK1 alters actin dynamics essential for various cellular functions.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nLIM Kinase 1 influences the RhoA\/ROCK and Rac1\/Pak pathways both critical for cytoskeletal rearrangements. Within these pathways LIMK1 interacts closely with proteins such as cofilin and is influenced by upstream activators like Rho GTPases. These pathways link it to a broader network of signaling that controls cell movement and stability important for cellular responses in various environmental contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\nLIMK1 is linked to neurological conditions like Williams-Beuren syndrome and some forms of intellectual disability. Changes in LIMK1 expression or activity can disrupt normal brain function leading to cognitive deficits. Its connection to cofilin and other cytoskeleton-associated proteins plays a role in the pathological development of these conditions underlining its importance in maintaining normal neuronal architecture and connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843850457257,"sku":"ab174066","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab174066","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
