    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the LIM kinase family of proteins. This protein is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates actin polymerization via phosphorylation and inactivation of the actin binding factor cofilin. This protein also stimulates axon growth and may play a role in brain development. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit reduced bone mass, abnormal neuronal morphology and altered synaptic function. Multiple pseudogenes of this gene have been identified. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks two alternate exons and contains an alternate 5' terminal exon, resulting in the use of an alternate translation start site, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) is shorter and has a distinct N-terminus, compared to isoform 1.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) has multiple differences, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
