Mknk2 - MAP kinase-interacting serine/threonine kinase 2 Gene
Also Known as Mnk2; Gprk7; 2010016G11Rik
Species: Mus musculus
About Mknk2
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 224 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in mammary gland adult (RPKM 326.2), subcutaneous fat pad adult (RPKM 252.6) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine-protein kinase, which is targeted by both the extracellular signal-regulated kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. This enzyme targets several substrates including eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E and mammalian target of rapamycin, which are negatively regulated by its phosphorylation. Null mutant mice do not exhibit developmental or reproductive defects. However, mice null for both this protein and mitogen-activated protein kinase-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 have delayed tumor development in Phosphatase and tensin homolog mutant mice, indicating an oncogenic function for this gene in tumor development.
