    LIMK1and LIMK2 expression status is associated with glioblastoma (GBM) grade and poor prognosis. Simultaneous knockdown of both isoforms strongly reduced the invasive motility of continuous culture models and human GBM tumor-initiating cells. LIMK1/2 functionally regulated cell invasiveness, in part, by disrupting polarized cell motility under confinement and cell chemotaxis.

    LIM domain kinase 2 isoform LIMK2-1 (LIMK2-1) has a protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) inhibitory domain at its C-terminus which its two isoenzymes LIMK2a and LIMK2b do not.

    LIMK2-1, a new isoform of human LIMK2, regulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling via a different signaling pathway than that of its two homologs, LIMK2a and LIMK2b.

    Analysis localized LIMK2 SNP rs2073859 (G-to-A allele) within the microRNA-135a binding region and revealed lower LIMK2 G allele expression. The frequency of A genotypes was higher in the bladder cancer (BC) group than normal controls and correlated with risks of higher grade and stage BC. LIMK2 may function as an oncogene in human BC, while allele-specific regulation by microRNA-135a may influence disease risk.

    LIMK2 acts as an oncogene in bladder cancer and its functional SNP in the microRNA-135a binding site affects bladder cancer risk.

    Compared to the other LIMK2 isoforms, LIMK2-1 contains a supplementary C-terminal phosphatase 1 inhibitory domain (PP1i). This isoform was hominidae-specific and showed that it was expressed in human fetal brain and faintly in adult brain. An association of a rare missense variant in the PP1i domain was found in patients with sporadic non-syndromic intellectual disability.

    LIMK2 (rs149034313) is associated with Behcet's disease. The LIMK2 association is a missense variant with predicted protein damage that may influence functional interactions with proteins involved in cytoskeletal regulation by Rho GTPase, inflammation mediated by chemokine and cytokine signaling pathways, T cell activation, and angiogenesis.
