Description
Serine/threonine-proteinkinase PAK6 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PAK6 gene. Thisgene encodes a protein that shares a high degree of sequence similarity withp21-activated kinase (PAK) family members. The proteins of this family areRac/Cdc42-associated Ste20-like Ser/Thr protein kinases, characterized by ahighly conserved amino-terminal Cdc42/Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domainand a carboxyl-terminal kinase domain. PAK kinases are implicated in theregulation of a number of cellular processes, including cytoskeletonrearrangement, apoptosis and the MAP kinase signaling pathway
