mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 2
Location:
11q13.1
Also known as:
RAB8IP, BL44, GCK
Entrez ID:
5871
Ensembl ID:
ENSG00000168067
Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. Although this kinase is found in many tissues, its expression in lymphoid follicles is restricted to the cells of germinal centre, where it may participate in B-cell differentiation. This kinase can be activated by TNF-alpha, and has been shown to specifically activate MAP kinases. This kinase is also found to interact with TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), which is involved in the activation of MAP3K1/MEKK1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
