Summary
Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in intracellular signal transduction and positive regulation of JUN kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chorionic trophoblast cell differentiation; male germ-line sex determination; and placenta development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human MAP3K4 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 4).

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.
