Short Name | MAPKKK12 |
description | MAP3K12 (also known as leucine-zipper protein kinase (ZPK), dual leucine zipper-bearing kinase (DLK) or MAPK-upstream kinase (MUK)) is a MAPKKK class protein kinase that induces JNK/SAPK activation. MAP3K12 is known to interact with MUK-binding inhibitory protein (MBIP). MBIP contains two tandem leucine-zipper-like motifs; MBIP interacts with one of the two leucine-zipper-like motifs of MAP3K12 and inhibits the activity of MAP3K12 to induce JNK/SAPK activation [, ]. MAP3K12 is autophosphorylated on Ser/Thr in cytosol under basal conditions, and dephosphorylated when membrane-associated. |
