Summary: Enables MAP kinase kinase kinase activity; mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase binding activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to nerve growth factor stimulus; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and response to cAMP. Is active in postsynapse. Used to study bile duct adenoma; cholangiocarcinoma; intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; and papillary thyroid carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Noonan syndrome 7; carcinoma (multiple); cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (multiple); central nervous system benign neoplasm (multiple); and melanoma (multiple). Orthologous to human BRAF (B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Title: Cardiomyocyte BRAF and type 1 RAF inhibitors promote cardiomyocyte and cardiac hypertrophy in mice in vivo.
stimulation of B-Raf strongly activated the transcription factor AP-1 which is accompanied by increased c-Jun and c-Fos promoter activities, an upregulation of c-Jun and c-Fos biosynthesis, and elevated transcriptional activation potentials of c-Jun and c-Fos.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
