What is the function of this protein?
Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is an important downstream effector of CDC42 and plays a role in the regulation of cytoskeleton reorganization and cell migration.  Regulates actin cytoskeletal reorganization via phosphorylation of PPP1R12C and MYL9/MLC2 (PubMed:21240187, PubMed:21457715).  In concert with MYO18A and LURAP1, is involved in modulating lamellar actomyosin retrograde flow that is crucial to cell protrusion and migration.  Phosphorylates PPP1R12A (PubMed:18854160).  In concert with FAM89B/LRAP25 mediates the targeting of LIMK1 to the lamellipodium resulting in its activation and subsequent phosphorylation of CFL1 which is important for lamellipodial F-actin regulation (By similarity).
What are the official names of this protein?
Serine/threonine-protein kinase MRCK beta, CDC42-binding protein kinase beta, DMPK-like beta, Myotonic dystrophy kinase-related CDC42-binding kinase beta, MRCK beta, Myotonic dystrophy protein kinase-like beta.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. DMPK subfamily.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Note=Displays a dispersed punctate distribution and concentrates along the cell periphery, especially at the leading edge and cell-cell junction. This concentration is PH- domain dependent (By similarity). Detected at the leading edge of migrating and wounded cells; this localization requires the presence of catalytically active CDC42 (PubMed:21240187). Localizes in the lamellipodium in a FAM89B/LRAP25-dependent manner (By similarity).
