Summary: Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within learning or memory; locomotory behavior; and neuron projection morphogenesis. Is active in postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; liver; retina; submandibular gland primordium; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to several human genes including PAK6 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 6).

Title: Functional deficits in PAK5, PAK6 and PAK5/PAK6 knockout mice.
Our results indicate that Pak5 and Pak6 together are not required for viability, but are required for a normal level of locomotion and activity as well as for learning and memory.
Title: Targeted disruption of the Pak5 and Pak6 genes in mice leads to deficits in learning and locomotion.

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.
