Abstract

The LIMK family of proteins are serine protein kinases comprised of two proteins, LIMK1 and LIMK2 (LIMK stands for LIM-kinase, where LIM is an acronym of the three gene products Lin-11, Isl-1 and Mec-3). They are recognised by two common LIM domains, along with a PDZ motif and a catalytic domain. LIMK 1 and 2 overall share approximately 50 homology, with 70 identity in the catalytic domain.
