Summary: Enables magnesium ion binding activity; protein kinase activity; and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including JNK cascade; cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; and positive regulation of MAPK cascade. Acts upstream of or within regulation of motor neuron apoptotic process and response to wounding. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; lung; musculoskeletal system; and sensory organ. Used to study schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon adenocarcinoma; lung adenocarcinoma; lung carcinoma; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human MAP2K7 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
