Summary: Predicted to enable JUN kinase kinase activity and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to hydrogen peroxide and smooth muscle cell apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within MAPK cascade; negative regulation of motor neuron apoptotic process; and response to wounding. Predicted to be located in axon; dendrite cytoplasm; and perikaryon. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ.

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.

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (4) lacks two alternate 5' exons compared to variant 1, that causes translation initiation from a downstream AUG. The resulting isoform (c) is shorter at the N-terminus compared to isoform a. Variants 3 and 4 both encode the same isoform (c).
