Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 9261
Gene name MAPK activated protein kinase 2
Gene symbol MAPKAPK2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
MAPKAP-K2MK-2MK2
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q32.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. This kinase is regulated through direct phosphorylation by p38 MAP kinase. In conjunction with p38 MAP kinase, this kinase is known to be involved in many cellular processes including stress
