Rho Kinase
Rho Kinase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including muscle contraction, cell movement, and the regulation of blood pressure. It is activated by the Rho GTPase family of proteins, which respond to external signals and help control the cytoskeleton's structure and function.
This enzyme is significant in many physiological and pathological conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. By influencing cell shape and motility, Rho Kinase contributes to processes like wound healing and tissue remodeling, making it a potential target for therapeutic interventions in related diseases.
