Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables MAP kinase kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to hydrogen peroxide; neuromuscular junction development; and smooth muscle cell apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within MAPK cascade; negative regulation of motor neuron apoptotic process; and response to wounding. Predicted to be located in axon; dendrite cytoplasm; and perikaryon. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; ovarian serous carcinoma; pancreatic cancer; respiratory system cancer (multiple); and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human MAP2K4 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4).
