Summary: Enables ATP binding activity; MAP kinase kinase activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including establishment of vesicle localization; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of Ras protein signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite cytoplasm; perikaryon; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Colocalizes with microtubule. Used to study cataract and prostate adenocarcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carcinoma (multiple); cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome 3; high grade glioma; and melorheostosis. Orthologous to human MAP2K1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1). [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.
