Rocks: multifunctional kinases in cell behaviour

Kirsi Riento et al. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

ROCKs, or Rho kinases, are serine/threonine kinases that are involved in many aspects of cell motility, from smooth-muscle contraction to cell migration and neurite outgrowth. Recent experiments have defined new functions of ROCKs in cells, including centrosome positioning and cell-size regulation, which might contribute to various physiological and pathological states.
