About Map2k1

Chromosome 9: 64,093,052-64,160,913 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001002.3

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 22 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in frontal lobe adult (RPKM 5.3), cortex adult (RPKM 32.1) and 27 other tissues.

Summary

Enables MAP kinase kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; animal organ development; and neurogenesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite cytoplasm; perikaryon; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to colocalize with microtubule. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carcinoma (multiple); cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome 3; high grade glioma; and melorheostosis. Orthologous to human MAP2K1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
