mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 6

Symbol

MAP3K6 (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that forms a component of protein kinase-mediated signal transduction cascades. The encoded kinase participates in the regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
