Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: This gene is a member of the MAPKKK family of signal transduction molecules and encodes a protein with an N-terminal kinase catalytic domain, followed by a leucine zipper motif and a sterile-alpha motif (SAM). This magnesium-binding protein forms homodimers and is located in the cytoplasm. The protein mediates gamma radiation signaling leading to cell cycle arrest and activity of this protein plays a role in cell cycle checkpoint regulation in cells. The protein also has pro-apoptotic activity. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
  • UniProt Summary: Stress-activated component of a protein kinase signal transduction cascade. Regulates the JNK and p38 pathways. Part of a signaling cascade that begins with the activation of the adrenergic receptor ADRA1B and leads to the activation of MAPK14. Pro-apoptotic. Role in regulation of S and G2 cell cycle checkpoint by direct phosphorylation of CHEK2 (PubMed:10924358, PubMed:11836244, PubMed:15342622, PubMed:21224381). Involved in limb development (PubMed:26755636). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10924358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11836244, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15342622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21224381, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26755636}.
