Cytoplasmic. Cotranslocates into the nucleus with AR in response to androgen
Clonality
polyclonal
Description
This gene encodes a member of a family of p21-stimulated serine/threonine protein kinases, which contain an amino-terminal Cdc42/Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain and a carboxyl-terminal kinase domain. These kinases function in a number of cellular processes, including cytoskeleton rearrangement, apoptosis, and the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling pathway. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with androgen receptor (AR) and translocates to the nucleus, where it is involved in transcriptional regulation. Changes in expression of this gene have been linked to prostate cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]

Description
Specificity: PAK6 antibody detects endogenous levels of PAK6 protein. Not tested with other proteinsRelevance: This gene encodes a protein that shares a high degree of sequence similarity with p21-activated kinase (PAK) family members. The proteins of this family are Rac/Cdc42-associated Ste20-like Ser/Thr protein kinases, characterized by a highly conserved amino-terminal Cdc42/Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain and a carboxyl-terminal kinase domain. PAK kinases are implicated in the regulation of a number of cellular processes, including cytoskeleton rearrangement, apoptosis and the MAP kinase signaling pathway. The protein encoded by this gene was found to interact with androgen receptor (AR), which is a steroid hormone-dependent transcription factor that is important for male sexual differentiation and development. The p21-activated protein kinase 6 gene was found to be highly expressed in testis and prostate tissues and the encoded protein was shown to cotranslocate into the nucleus with AR in response to androgen. Regulation of PAK6 kinase activity occurs through multiple sites of phosphorylation. Activation of PAK6 requires autophosphorylation of Ser-560 and MKK-6 induced phosphorylation of Tyr-566. In addition, p38 MAPK can phosphorylate Ser-165, which increases PAK6 kinase activity. Thus, multiple signaling pathways may regulate the activity of PAK6 through differential phosphorylation.
