| Name | PAR polarity complex |
| ID | GO_0120157 |
| collection_id | Cellular component |
| Exact synonym | apical polarity complex |
| Description | A protein kinase complex that is required for the establishment of a cell polarity axis during the cell division cycle. Binds directly to activated CDC42 GTPase and is required for orchestrating a cellular gradient of CDC42. In S. cerevisiae components are: BEM1, CDC24 and CLA4; from worms to vertebrates it contains a PAR6 protein, PAR3 protein and an atypical PKC. |
| Comment | "This tripartite complex named PAR6/PAR3/aPKC is conserved from worms to vertebrates" (PMID:18005931). In yeast, the components are BEM1, CDC24, and CLA4. |
