Mapk3

Enables MAP kinase activity and phosphotyrosine residue binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; nervous system development; and regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Bergmann glial cell differentiation; ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and respiratory system development. Located in cytosol; nucleus; and pseudopodium. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; carcinoma (multiple); and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human MAPK3 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 3).

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 Mapk3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
