| Background | catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,function:May play a role in the response to environmental stress. Appears to act upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway. May play a role in hematopoietic lineage decisions and growth regulation.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 CNH domain.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subunit:Interacts with MAP3K1.,tissue specificity:Expressed primarily in hematopoietic organs, including bone marrow, spleen and thymus. Also expressed at very low levels in lung, kidney, mammary glands and small intestine., |
