Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 2

PAK2 is a member of STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. PAK2 is known to phosphorylate H3S10 and is seen migrating from chromosomes to the contraction ring during the progression of mitotic phase (PMID: 12151336). It is reported to phosphorylate and regulate Aurora kinase A during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle (PMID: 16246726).
