LIMK-1 is a protein kinase enzyme that plays a role in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics. It is involved in the phosphorylation and inactivation of cofilin, an actin-depolymerizing factor. The core function of LIMK-1 is to modulate the organization and stability of the actin cytoskeleton.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
