LIM Domain Kinase 1 (LIMK1)

Target
LIMK1
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Serine/threonine protein kinase
01

Overview

LIMK1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics by phosphorylating and inactivating cofilin proteins. It plays a critical role in cell motility, cell cycle progression, neuronal development, and has been implicated in diseases such as Williams Syndrome and cancer, making it a potential therapeutic target.
