    GlossaryRho kinase (Rho-associated protein kinase)

    enzyme regulating cell shape and movement via the cytoskeleton

    Rho kinase, often abbreviated as ROCK, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in regulating the shape and movement of cells by affecting the cytoskeleton, which is the cell's structural framework. It is involved in various cellular functions, including contraction, motility, proliferation, and apoptosis, and has been implicated in conditions like hypertension, cancer, and certain types of hair loss, such as alopecia.
