Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables JUN kinase activity and protein serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including inflammatory response to wounding; positive regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response; and positive regulation of protein metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway; positive regulation of podosome assembly; and protein localization to tricellular tight junction. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; future brain; genitourinary system; intestine; and upper jaw. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; pancreatic adenocarcinoma; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MAPK9 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 9).
