Mapk14 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables MAP kinase activity and NFAT protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and skeletal system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion; nucleus; and spindle pole. Is active in cytosol and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; head mesenchyme; and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon cancer; colorectal carcinoma; nasopharynx carcinoma; and rectum cancer. Orthologous to human MAPK14 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 14).

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 Mapk14 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
