Anti-Misshapen-like kinase 1 MINK1 Antibody

Misshapen-like kinase 1;2.7.11.1; GCK family kinase MiNK; MAPK/ERK kinase kinase kinase 6; MEK kinase kinase 6; MEKKK 6; Misshapen/NIK-related kinase; Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 6; MINK1

Expressed in the brain, isoform 2 is more abundant than isoform 1. Isoform 3 is ubiquitously expressed. Isoform 1 is most abundant in the skeletal muscle. Isoform 4 is ubiquitously expressed with relative high levels in brain, skeletal muscle, pancreas and testis.

Serine/threonine kinase which acts as a negative regulator of Ras-related Rap2-mediated signal transduction to control neuronal structure and AMPA receptor trafficking. Required for normal synaptic density, dendrite complexity, as well as surface AMPA receptor expression in hippocampal neurons. Can activate the JNK and MAPK14/p38 pathways and mediates stimulation of the stress-activated protein kinase MAPK14/p38 MAPK downstream of the Raf/ERK pathway. Phosphorylates: TANC1 upon stimulation by RAP2A, MBP and SMAD1. Has an essential function in negative selection of thymocytes, perhaps by coupling NCK1 to activation of JNK1.
