| Function |
Displays serine/threonine-specific phosphorylation of myelin basic protein and histone (MBP) in vitro. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10436159, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11018042}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Isoform LIMK2a: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Isoform LIMK2a is distributed in the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highest expression in the placenta; moderate level in liver, lung, kidney, and pancreas. LIMK2a is found to be more abundant then LIMK2b in liver, colon, stomach, and spleen, while in brain, kidney, and placenta LIMK2b is the dominant form. In adult lung, both LIMK2a and LIMK2b is nearly equally observed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8954941}.
