This protein with a molecular weight of approximately 72 kDa plays an important role in regulating the cytoskeleton dynamics by phosphorylating and inactivating cofilin thereby affecting actin filament stability. LIMK2 is ubiquitously expressed with higher expression levels observed in the brain and certain types of cancer tissues indicating its importance in both normal and pathological cell processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nLIMK2 influences cell motility differentiation and division by modulating the actin cytoskeleton. It is a central component in various signaling complexes where it interacts with proteins such as ROCK and PAK which are upstream activators. By controlling actin filament assembly and disassembly LIMK2 impacts essential cellular functions including migration and invasion highlighting its potential role in cancer metastasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nLIMK2 integrates into signaling cascades linked to the Rho family of GTPases and the TGF-beta pathways. In these pathways it collaborates with proteins like ROCK to influence cytoskeletal reorganization. LIMK2's activity in these pathways emphasizes its role in maintaining cellular integrity and responding to extracellular stimuli which are critical components of cell cycle regulation and morphological changes.\u003cbr\u003e\nAberrant LIMK2 activity has connections with cancer progression and neurological disorders. In cancer upregulation can lead to increased tumor cell invasion and metastasis through its interaction with cofilin and the subsequent increase in actin filament assembly. In neurological contexts altered LIMK2 function associates with neurodegenerative diseases possibly due to its role in neuronal signaling networks and cytoskeletal dynamics. Understanding LIMK2’s interactions with proteins like cofilin offers insight into potential therapeutic targets for managing these diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852605116585,"sku":"ab224967","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab224967","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
