1.1 Gene

ROCK1: Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1

Entrez ID: 6093
ENSEMBL ID: ENSG00000067900
Chromosome: 18q11.1
Coding Sequence Length: 4065 bp
Aka: p160ROCK
Description:

This gene encodes a protein serine/threonine kinase that is activated when bound to the GTP-bound form of Rho. The small GTPase Rho regulates formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers of fibroblasts, as well as adhesion and aggregation of platelets and lymphocytes by shuttling between the inactive GDP-bound form and the active GTP-bound form. Rho is also essential in cytokinesis and plays a role in transcriptional activation by serum response factor. This protein, a downstream effector of Rho, phosphorylates and activates LIM kinase, which in turn, phosphorylates cofilin, inhibiting its actin-depolymerizing activity. A pseudogene, related to this gene, is also located on chromosome 18. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

1.1.1 Ideogram

Ideogram Plot. Each point shows the location of the query gene(s) on human chromosomes.

The ideogram plot is a custom image built to show the location of each gene on the human chromosome. The round gray circle depicts the position of centromere and the banding patterns are depicted in their known positions. The location of the queried gene, in this example ROCK1, is labeled.

C3_WIZ_TARGET_GENES Genes containing one or more binding sites for UniProt:O95785 (WIZ) in their promoter regions (TSS -1000,+100 bp) as identified by GTRD version 20.06 ChIP-seq harmonization.
GOBP_AMYLOID_BETA_CLEARANCE The process in which amyloid-beta is removed from extracellular brain regions by mechanisms involving cell surface receptors. [GOC:aruk, GOC:bc, GOC:BHF, PMID:18289866, PMID:19098903, PMID:26005850]
GOBP_BLEB_ASSEMBLY The assembly of a bleb, a cell extension caused by localized decoupling of the cytoskeleton from the plasma membrane and characterized by rapid formation, rounded shape, and scarcity of organelles within the protrusion. Plasma membrane blebbing occurs during apoptosis and other cellular processes, including cell locomotion, cell division, and as a result of physical or chemical stresses.

GOBP_CORTICAL_ACTIN_CYTOSKELETON_ORGANIZATION A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of actin-based cytoskeletal structures in the cell cortex, i.e. just beneath the plasma membrane. [GOC:dph, GOC:jl, GOC:mah, GOC:pf]
GOBP_EPITHELIAL_CELL_MORPHOGENESIS The change in form that occurs when an epithelial cell progresses from its initial formation to its mature state. [GOC:ascb_2009, GOC:dph, GOC:tb]
GOBP_MEMBRANE_PROTEIN_ECTODOMAIN_PROTEOLYSIS The proteolytic cleavage of transmembrane proteins and release of their ectodomain (extracellular domain). [GOC:jl, http://www.copewithcytokines.de/]
GOBP_MEMBRANE_TO_MEMBRANE_DOCKING The initial attachment of a membrane to a target membrane, mediated by proteins protruding from the two membranes. Docking requires only that the membranes come close enough for the proteins to interact and adhere. [GOC:isa_complete]
GOBP_MYOBLAST_MIGRATION The orderly movement of a myoblast from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism. A myoblast is a cell type that, by fusion with other myoblasts, gives rise to the myotubes that eventually develop into skeletal muscle fibers. [CL:0000056, GOC:ai, GOC:mtg_muscle]
GOBP_NEGATIVE_REGULATION_OF_AMYLOID_PRECURSOR_PROTEIN_CATABOLIC_PROCESS Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of amyloid precursor protein catabolic process. [GO_REF:0000058, GOC:PARL, GOC:rl, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:24499793]

GOBP_NEURON_PROJECTION_ARBORIZATION The process in which the anatomical structures of a neuron projection are generated and organized into branches. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites. [GOC:aruk, GOC:bc, PMID:17114044, PMID:23270857, PMID:23764288]
