Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables MAP kinase kinase kinase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular signal transduction; positive regulation of JNK cascade; and positive regulation of myoblast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to reactive nitrogen species; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to oxidative stress; and positive regulation of MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and external side of plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of IRE1-TRAF2-ASK1 complex and protein kinase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Huntington's disease. Orthologous to human MAP3K5 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5).
