Facts about Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 3.
Activation by the binding of active CDC42 and RAC1 leads to a conformational change and a subsequent autophosphorylation on several serine and/or threonine residues. Phosphorylates MAPK4 and MAPK6 and activates the downstream target MAPKAPK5, a regulator of F-actin polymerization and cell migration.
