Summary: Enables MAP kinase kinase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including MAPK cascade; cardiac muscle contraction; and positive regulation of MAPK cascade. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; 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.
