Primary Identifier | MGI:1346865 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 26416 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables MAP kinase activity and NFAT protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and skeletal system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion; nucleus; and spindle pole. Is active in cytosol and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; head mesenchyme; and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon cancer; colorectal carcinoma; nasopharynx carcinoma; and rectum cancer. Orthologous to human MAPK14 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 14). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for various null mutations are embryonic to perinatal lethal showing multiple organ system defects. Mice homozygous for a knock-out mutation exhibit abnormal myoblast differentiation and delayed myofiber growth and maturation. [provided by MGI curators] |
