    Summary
    Enables mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase binding activity. Involved in generation of neurons; p38MAPK cascade; and regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in head; hypodermis; nervous system; pharynx; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; ovarian serous carcinoma; pancreatic cancer; respiratory system cancer (multiple); and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human MAP2K4 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
