Summary: Activation of members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family is a major mechanism for transduction of extracellular signals. Stress-activated protein kinases are one subclass of MAP kinases. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a signal transducer during differentiation of myoblasts to myotubes.

P38GAMMA silencing inhibits colorectal cancer (CRC) cell growth and migration. P38GAMMA silencing induces apoptosis activation in CRC cells. Ectopic P38GAMMA overexpression promotes CRC cell progression in vitro.

these results indicate that ERK3 acts as a potent suppressor of melanoma cell growth and invasiveness
Title: The atypical MAPK ERK3 potently suppresses melanoma cell growth and invasiveness.
p38 MAPK gamma (p38gamma) acts as a CDK-like kinase and thus cooperates with CDKs, regulating entry into the cell cycle; p38gamma shares high sequence homology, inhibition sensitivity and substrate specificity with CDK family members; biopsies of human hepatocellular carcinoma show high expression of p38gamma, suggesting that p38gamma could be a therapeutic target in the treatment of this disease
Title: p38γ is essential for cell cycle progression and liver tumorigenesis.
IFN-gamma receptor stimulation requires ULK1-mediated activation of MLK3 and ERK5
Title: IFN-γ-inducible antiviral responses require ULK1-mediated activation of MLK3 and ERK5.
p38gamma was up-regulated in breast cancer, which exerts a great influence on the cell growth, cell mobility, invasiveness, and apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells and also affected the metabolism

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.
