| Primary Identifier | MGI:1346861 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 26419 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0) 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal T cell differentiation and proliferation, cardiac morphology and physiology, and chemically-induced tumorigenesis. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit abnormal glucose homeostasis and T cell physiology. KO also leads to an increased number of retinal photoreceptor cells.
