Gene information for MAPK6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5597
Official gene symbolMAPK6
Full namemitogen-activated protein kinase 6
Aliases,DKFZp686F03189,ERK3,HsT17250,PRKM6,p97MAPK,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family, and is most closely related to mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAP kinases). MAP kinases also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), are activated through protein phosphorylation cascades and act as integration points for multiple biochemical signals. This kinase is localized in the nucleus, and has been reported to be activated in fibroblasts upon treatment with serum or phorbol esters. [provided by RefSeq]
