LAMTOR3 late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 3

Gene ID: 8649, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MP1; MAPBP; MAPKSP1; PRO0633; MAP2K1IP1; Ragulator3

Summary

This gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions in the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) cascade. The protein is localized to late endosomes by the mitogen-activated protein-binding protein-interacting protein, and binds specifically to MAP kinase kinase MAP2K1/MEK1, MAP kinase MAPK3/ERK1, and MAP kinase MAPK1/ERK2. Studies of the orthologous gene in mouse indicate that it regulates late endosomal traffic and cell proliferation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 13.
