Background
This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that is involved in many different processes, including, cell signaling, microtubule organization and stability, and apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,function:Activates the JNK MAP kinase pathway through the specific activation of the upstream MKK3 and MKK6 kinases.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subcellular location:Found to be perinuclear and localized to vesicular compartment.,subunit:Interacts with MKK3 and MKK6 (By similarity). Self-associates.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed, with a higher level of expression in testis and brain.,

Cellular localization
Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Nucleus. Catalytically active full-length phosphorylated isoform 1 localizes to microtubules in the cytoplasm predominantly on microtubule cables positioned around the nucleus. A C-terminally truncated form of isoform 1 is present in the nucleus; isoform 2 and kinase-defective, as well as full-length isoform 1 are excluded from the nucleus.; [Isoform 2]: Cell projection, dendrite. In dendrites, colocalizes with PCDH8. .
Tissue expression
Ubiquitously expressed, with a higher level of expression in testis and brain.
