Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 26414 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables JUN kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including JNK cascade; locomotor rhythm; and protein phosphorylation. Located in mitochondrion; plasma membrane; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human MAPK10 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 10). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display a normal phenotype. They are resistant to kainic acid induced seizures and show increased resistance to MPTP induced Parkinson's disease. [provided by MGI curators] |
