Summary
Enables protein homodimerization activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in JNK cascade; positive regulation of JUN kinase activity; and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of motor neuron apoptotic process. Located in cytosol; growth cone; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MAP3K12 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
