mitogen-activated protein kinase 8b

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable JUN kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within JNK cascade; determination of dorsal identity; and enteric nervous system development. Predicted to be located in synapse. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in brain; gut; head; pectoral fin; and pericardial region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in abdominal aortic aneurysm; chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis; colorectal adenoma; rectal benign neoplasm; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MAPK8 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
