Primary Identifier | MGI:1346867 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 26396 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables MAP kinase kinase activity and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including MAPK cascade; cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; regulation of neuron projection development; and respiratory system development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome 4 and small intestine adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human MAP2K2 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation are viable, fertile, and apparently normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
