Biochem/physiol Actions

PAK1 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1) maintains the cytoskeleton and cellular morphology. It is associated with cell cycle, cell motility, survival, and cell death. PAK1 is upregulated in different types of cancer. PAK1 is found to be involved in growth, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells, as it affects the action of pro-apoptotic signals. In neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington’;s disease and Alzheimer’;s disease, and mental retardation, abnormal regulation of PAK1 is observed. PAK1 induces MAPK (mitogen activated protein kinase) signal pathway and cytoskeletal remodeling in breast cancer, thereby serving as an oncogene. PAK1 is known to significantly participate in the development, maturation and plasticity of the nervous system.
