    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
    intracellular,nucleus
    text phosphorylation of Ser350 plays an essential role in regulating translocation to the nucleus from the cytoplasm, possibly by affecting the activity of the nuclear localization signal
    basic FUNCTION
  • phosphorylation of the myosine light chain (MLC)
  • autophosphorylation
  • its kinase activity is regulated in a calcium-dependent manner and Ser(12) phosphorylation is necessary for optimal suppression of T cell activation by this kinase
  • role in regulating the germinal center reaction and the response to thymus-dependent antigens, perhaps through increased survival of T cells and enhanced B-cell positive selection
  • serine-threonine kinase implicated in the regulation of apoptosis and negatively regulated by PTGS2, suggesting a novel mechanism for the effect of PTGS2 on cancer cell survival
    • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis
