MAP2K6 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
MAP2K6 
Aliases
MAPKK6; MEK6; MKK6; PRKMK6; SAPKK3 
Common name
mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 6 
Entrez Id
5608
Description
This gene encodes a member of the dual specificity protein kinase family, which functions as a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase. MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals. This protein phosphorylates and activates p38 MAP kinase in response to inflammatory cytokines or environmental stress. As an essential component of p38 MAP kinase mediated signal transduction pathway, this gene is involved in many cellular processes such as stress induced cell cycle arrest, transcription activation and apoptosis.
