title: Roles of Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinase in multiple cell behaviors.
abstract: Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinase (ROCK) is a serine/threonine kinase that belongs to AGC family of kinases. By inducing the formation of stress fibers and reorganizing the cytoskeleton, it is involved in many biological behaviors of cells including cell contraction, cell migration, cell division, and morphological changes, and thus exerts important roles in regulating the multiple functions of cells.
