MKNK1 MAPK interacting serine/threonine kinase 1

Gene ID: 8569, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MNK1

Summary

This gene encodes a Ser/Thr protein kinase that interacts with, and is activated by ERK1 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases, and thus may play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines. This kinase may also regulate transcription by phosphorylating eIF4E via interaction with the C-terminal region of eIF4G. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene.
