About Mapk8

Chromosome 14: 33,099,855-33,169,115 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001007.3

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 291 orthologues, 19 paralogues and is associated with 38 phenotypes. Broad expression in CNS E18 (RPKM 19.1), CNS E14 (RPKM 18.4) and 26 other tissues.

Summary

Enables JUN kinase activity and protein serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including JNK cascade; generation of neurons; and positive regulation of cellular protein metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to nitric oxide; positive regulation of determination of dorsal identity; and protein phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including basal dendrite; mitochondrion; and podosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; oral region epithelium; sensory organ; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in abdominal aortic aneurysm; chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis; colorectal adenoma; rectal benign neoplasm; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MAPK8 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
