MAPK4 mitogen-activated protein kinase 4 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 5596)
Symbol: MAPK4
Full name: mitogen-activated protein kinase 4
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: ERK-4; ERK4; PRKM4; p63-MAPK; p63MAPK
Summary: Mitogen-activated protein kinase 4 is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family. Tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors activate mitogen-activated protein kinases which then translocate into the nucleus and phosphorylate nuclear targets. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
Expression: Biased expression in adrenal (RPKM 3.2), brain (RPKM 3.1) and 11 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 172215bp
Exon count: 14
