p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 5

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the PAK family of Ser/Thr protein kinases.

It is capable of promoting neurite outgrowth, and thus may play a role in neurite development. This kinase is associated with microtubule networks and induces microtubule stabilization. The subcellular localization of this kinase is tightly regulated during cell cycle progression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described.
