NCIt definition : Human MAPK7 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p11.2 and is approximately
6 kb in length. This allele, which encodes mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 protein,
plays a role in the activation of nuclear transcription factors in response to extracellular
signals. The MAPK7 gene is overexpressed in prostate cancer.;
NCIt note : The MAPK7 gene exhibits high levels of expression in the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs,
placenta and skeletal muscle. This gene produces three RNA transcript variants which
encode distinct isoforms of mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 protein.;
