MAP-Kinase Kinase Kinase 8 Definition

Encoded by human MAP3K8 Gene (MAP3K Family), cytoplasmic 58-kD (S and G2/M phase specific) and 52-kD isoforms of (Ser/Thr) MAP Kinase Kinase Kinase 8, produced by alternative initiation, activate MAP kinase and JNK kinase pathways in cell cycle regulation. Ser/Thr and autophosphorylated p38 MAPK activates IKB kinases, inducing proteasome-mediated proteolysis of cytoplasmic NFKB and nuclear translocation, and promotes TNF-alpha and IL-2 production during T lymphocyte activation. (NCI)
