Eurofins DiscoverX LIM Kinase 1 Protein, Active
Description
LIM domain kinases 1 and 2 (LIMK1 and LIMK2) play a critical role in stimulus-induced remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton by linking signals from the Rho family GTPases. LIMKs specifically phosphorylate and inactivate cofilin, an actin-binding protein that stimulates depolymerization and severance of actin filaments, thereby regulating actin cytoskeletal reorganization. Inhibition of LIMK1 may be useful in the treatment of tumors, especially invasive breast and prostate cancer cells.
