Mapk14 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables ATP binding activity and MAP kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus; protein autophosphorylation; and stress-activated MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion; nuclear speck; and spindle pole. Predicted to be active in cytosol; glutamatergic synapse; and nucleus. Used to study diabetic neuropathy and osteoporosis. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease; anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis; and interstitial cystitis. 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).
