Gene: MAPK12

Alternate names for this Gene: ERK-6|ERK3|ERK6|MAPK 12|P38GAMMA|PRKM12|SAPK-3|SAPK3

Gene Summary: Activation of members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family is a major mechanism for transduction of extracellular signals. Stress-activated protein kinases are one subclass of MAP kinases. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a signal transducer during differentiation of myoblasts to myotubes.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 22

Location in Chromosome : 22q13.33

Description of this Gene: mitogen-activated protein kinase 12

Type of Gene: protein-coding
