MAP2K7 - mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 Gene
Also Known as MEK; MKK7; JNKK2; MEK 7; MAPKK7; PRKMK7; SAPKK4; SAPKK-4
Species: Homo sapiens
About MAP2K7
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 196 orthologues and 8 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 9.3), spleen (RPKM 8.9) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase specifically activates MAPK8/JNK1 and MAPK9/JNK2, and this kinase itself is phosphorylated and activated by MAP kinase kinase kinases including MAP3K1/MEKK1, MAP3K2/MEKK2,MAP3K3/MEKK5, and MAP4K2/GCK. This kinase is involved in the signal transduction mediating the cell responses to proinflammatory cytokines, and environmental stresses. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
