About Map2k2

Chromosome 10: 80,941,749-80,969,809 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001003.3

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 273 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in duodenum adult (RPKM 23.), adrenal adult (RPKM 218.2) and 28 other tissues.

Summary

Enables molecular adaptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of cell motility. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; animal organ development; and regulation of neuron projection development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome 4 and small intestine adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human MAP2K2 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2).
