Gene: [15q22/PRKMK1] protein kinase, mitogen-activated, kinase 1 (43.5kD); MAP kinase kinase 1 (MAPKK 1);

FUN

[1] The general function of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades is to relay environmental signals to the transcriptional machinery in the nucleus and thus modulate gene expression. MAPK cascades consist of a 3-kinase module composed of an MAPK (or PRKM, e.g. GEM:22q112/PRKM1), an MAPK kinase (MAPKK, or PRKMK), and an MAPKK kinase (MAPKKK, or MEKK, e.g. GEM:05^/MEKK1). Specific PRKMKs have been shown to phosphorylate specific PRKMs in a given module.
[2] At least 3 distinct MAPK cascades exist in mammals: one leads to the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs; e.g., GEM:16p112/PRKM3); another leads to the activation of the p38s (e.g., GEM:00.0/PRKM11); and a third leads to the activation of the c-jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs; see on them in GEM:10^/PRKM8)."

FAG

The other PRKMK genes have been found: GEM:00.0/PRKMK2; GEM:17q112/PRKMK3; GEM:17p112/SERK1(PRKMK4); GEM:00.0/PRKMK5; GEM:00.0/PRKMK6; GEM:00.0/PRKMK7."
