Abstract
ROCKs, or Rho kinases, are serine/threonine kinases that are involved in many aspects of cell motility, from smooth-muscle contraction to cell migration and neurite outgrowth. Recent experiments have defined new functions of ROCKs in cells, including centrosome positioning and cell-size regulation, which might contribute to various physiological and pathological states.Mesh:
