Mapkapk3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable calmodulin binding activity; mitogen-activated protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in macropinocytosis; response to lipopolysaccharide; and toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; naris; skin; urinary system; and ventral grey horn. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in patterned macular dystrophy 3. Orthologous to human MAPKAPK3 (MAPK activated protein kinase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Mapkapk3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
