Summary: Enables MAP kinase kinase activity; MAP kinase kinase kinase kinase activity; and receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including anoikis; negative regulation of necroptotic process; and positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intracellular signaling cassette; regulation of signal transduction; and tube morphogenesis. Located in postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gut; male reproductive gland or organ; metanephros; and respiratory system. Used to study Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in frontometaphyseal dysplasia; frontometaphyseal dysplasia 2; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human MAP3K7 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
