    Summary
    Enables protein heterodimerization activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; nasal epithelium; stomach; and thymus. Orthologous to human MAPK4 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
