Gene: MAPK14
Alternate names for this Gene: CSBP|CSBP1|CSBP2|CSPB1|EXIP|Mxi2|PRKM14|PRKM15|RK|SAPK2A|p38|p38ALPHA
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. This kinase is activated by various environmental stresses and proinflammatory cytokines. The activation requires its phosphorylation by MAP kinase kinases (MKKs), or its autophosphorylation triggered by the interaction of MAP3K7IP1/TAB1 protein with this kinase. The substrates of this kinase include transcription regulator ATF2, MEF2C, and MAX, cell cycle regulator CDC25B, and tumor suppressor p53, which suggest the roles of this kinase in stress related transcription and cell cycle regulation, as well as in genotoxic stress response. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6p21.31
Description of this Gene: mitogen-activated protein kinase 14
Type of Gene: protein-coding
Gene: SLC26A8
Alternate names for this Gene: SPGF3|TAT1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the SLC26 gene family of anion transporters. Family members are well conserved in gene structure and protein length yet have markedly different tissue expression patterns. The expression of this gene appears to be restricted to spermatocytes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described.
