Facts about Serine/threonine-protein kinase MRCK alpha.
In concert with MYO18A and LURAP1, is involved in regulating lamellar actomyosin retrograde flow that's imperative to cell protrusion and migration (PubMed:18854160). Phosphorylates: PPP1R12A, LIMK1 and LIMK2 (PubMed:11340065, PubMed:11399775).

Abundant in the heart, brain, skeletal muscle, kidney, and pancreas, with little or no expression in the lung and liver.
Cytoplasm. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Displays a dispersed punctate distribution and concentrates along the cell periphery, especially at the leading edge and cell-cell junction. This concentration is PH-domain dependent. Localizes in the lamellipodium in a FAM89B/LRAP25-dependent manner.
