DESCRIPTION

Also known as M3K20_HUMAN, MAP3K20, MLTK, ZAK. Stress-activated component of a protein kinase signal transduction cascade. Regulates the JNK and p38 pathways. Part of a signaling cascade that begins with the activation of the adrenergic receptor ADRA1B and leads to the activation of MAPK14. Pro-apoptotic. Role in regulation of S and G2 cell cycle checkpoint by direct phosphorylation of CHEK2 (PubMed:10924358, PubMed:11836244, PubMed:15342622, PubMed:21224381). Involved in limb development (PubMed:26755636)., Phosphorylates histone H3 at 'Ser-28' (PubMed:15684425). May have role in neoplastic cell transformation and cancer development (PubMed:15172994). Causes cell shrinkage and disruption of actin stress fibers (PubMed:11042189). Homodimer (PubMed:10924358, PubMed:26755636). Interacts with PKN1 and ZNF33A (PubMed:12535642, PubMed:12761180). Component of a signaling complex containing at least AKAP13, PKN1, MAPK14, MAP3K20 and MAP2K3. Within this complex, AKAP13 interacts directly with PKN1, which in turn recruits MAPK14, MAP2K3 and MAP3K20 (PubMed:21224381).
