Name | MAP2K5 |
---|---|
Synonyms | MEK5, MKK5, PRKMK5 |
Function | Acts as a scaffold for the formation of a ternary MAP3K2/MAP3K3-MAP3K5-MAPK7 signaling complex. Activation of this pathway appears to play a critical role in protecting cells from stress-induced apoptosis, neuronal survival and cardiac development and angiogenesis. As part of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, acts as a negative regulator of apoptosis in cardiomyocytes via promotion of STUB1/CHIP-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of ICER-type isoforms of CREM (By similarity). |
Tissue Location | Expressed in many adult tissues. Abundant in heart and skeletal muscle |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the dual specificity proteinkinase family, which functions as a mitogen-activated protein (MAP)kinase kinase. MAP kinases, also known as extracellularsignal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act as an integration point formultiple biochemical signals. This protein phosphorylates andactivates p38 MAP kinase in response to inflammatory cytokines orenvironmental stress. As an essential component of p38 MAP kinasemediated signal transduction pathway, this gene is involved in manycellular processes such as stress induced cell cycle arrest,transcription activation and apoptosis.
