Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Stress-activated kinase involved in tolerance to glucose starvation. Induces cell-cell detachment by increasing F-actin conversion to G-actin. Expression is induced by CD95 or TNF-alpha, via NF-kappa-B. Protects cells from CD95-mediated apoptosis and is required for the increased motility and invasiveness of CD95- activated tumor cells. Able to phosphorylate 'Ser-464' of LATS1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14575707, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14976552, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15345718, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19927127}.
