Mapk15 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable MAP kinase activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of metaphase/anaphase transition of meiosis I; positive regulation of spindle assembly; and regulation of cilium assembly. Located in meiotic spindle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; limb; nose; and viscerocranium. Orthologous to human MAPK15 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 15).

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 Mapk15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
