MAP4K2 - mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 2 Gene
Also Known as GCK; BL44; RAB8IP
Species: Homo sapiens
About MAP4K2
This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 101 orthologues and 35 paralogues. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 10.3), lymph node (RPKM 8.4) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. Although this kinase is found in many tissues, its expression in lymphoid follicles is restricted to the cells of germinal centre, where it may participate in B-cell differentiation. This kinase can be activated by TNF-alpha, and has been shown to specifically activate MAP kinases. This kinase is also found to interact with TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), which is involved in the activation of MAP3K1/MEKK1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
