Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable MAP kinase kinase kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in gap junction-mediated intercellular transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within immune system process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; adrenal gland; alimentary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma; lung cancer; and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human MAP3K8 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 8).
