NCIt definition : Human MAP3K8 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 10p11.23 and is approximately
28 kb in length. This allele, which encodes mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase
kinase 8 protein, is pleiotropic due to its role in several signaling pathways that
are involved in processes such as cell cycle regulation and T-cell activation.;
NCIt note : The MAP3K8 gene encodes two isoforms of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase
8 protein via alternative initiation.;
