Summary
Enables JUN kinase activity and protein serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; integrin-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of 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 active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; 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, Dec 2024]

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.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in its 5' UTR and both contains and lacks an alternate in-frame exon in the central coding region compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 2 which is the same length as isoform 1, but differs in a small segment in the central region of the protein, compared to isoform 1.

    Transcript Variant: This variant (4) both contains and lacks an alternate in-frame exon in the central coding region, and uses an alternate splice donor site in its 3' terminal exon which results in a frameshift, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 4 has an alternate region in the central region of the protein and a longer and distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1. Isoforms 3 and 4 are the same length, but differ in a small segment in the central region of the protein.
