p21 (CDKN1A)-activated kinase 2; The activated kinase acts on a variety of targets. Full length PAK 2 stimulates cell survival and cell growth. The process is, at least in part, mediated by phosphorylation and inhibition of pro-apoptotic BAD. Caspase-activated PAK-2p34 is involved in cell death response, probably involving the JNK signaling pathway (By similarity) (524 aa)
