About MAP2K7

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:7,903,877-7,914,478 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 196 orthologues and 8 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 9.3), spleen (RPKM 8.9) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
