Gene data
MAP3K20- Name
- mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 20
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- AZK, CNM6, MLK7, MLT, MLTK, MLTKalpha, MLTKbeta, MRK, SFMMP, ZAK
This gene is a member of the MAPKKK family of signal transduction molecules and encodes a protein with an N-terminal kinase catalytic domain, followed by a leucine zipper motif and a sterile-alpha motif (SAM). This magnesium-binding protein forms homodimers and is located in the cytoplasm. The protein mediates gamma radiation signaling leading to cell cycle arrest and activity of this protein plays a role in cell cycle checkpoint regulation in cells. The protein also has pro-apoptotic activity. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
