NCIt definition : Human MAPK14 wild-type allele is located within 6p21.3-p21.2 and is approximately
83 kb in length. This allele, which encodes mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 protein,
plays a role in both the production of certain cytokines and the regulation of cellular
signaling in response to environmental stress, lipopolysaccharide and pro-inflammatory
cytokines.;
NCIt note : The MAPK14 gene is expressed in the brain, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, placenta,
pancreas and skeletal muscle. This gene produces four RNA transcript variants which
encode distinct isoforms of mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 protein.;
