Gene information for MAP2K7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5609
Official gene symbolMAP2K7
Full namemitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7
Aliases,Jnkk2,MAPKK7,MKK7,PRKMK7,
Gene summaryThe 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. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found, but only one transcript variant has been supported and defined. [provided by RefSeq]
