About MAP4K4

Cytogenetic location: 2q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:101,697,707-101,894,690 (from NCBI)

This gene has 18 transcripts (splice variants), 281 orthologues and 35 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 42.7), fat (RPKM 25.1) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. This kinase has been shown to specifically activate MAPK8/JNK. The activation of MAPK8 by this kinase is found to be inhibited by the dominant-negative mutants of MAP3K7/TAK1, MAP2K4/MKK4, and MAP2K7/MKK7, which suggests that this kinase may function through the MAP3K7-MAP2K4-MAP2K7 kinase cascade, and mediate the TNF-alpha signaling pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
