What Does PAK Stand For?
PAK stands for P21 Activated Kinase
PAK, or P21 Activated Kinase, refers to a family of serine/threonine kinases that are activated by Rho GTPases, specifically Cdc42 and Rac. These kinases play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cytoskeletal dynamics, cell motility, and signal transduction. PAKs are involved in several signaling pathways that regulate cell growth, differentiation, and survival, making them important targets for research in cancer and other diseases.
