OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase specifically interacts with and activates MAPK7/ERK5. This kinase itself can be phosphorylated and activated by MAP3K3/MEKK3, as well as by atypical protein kinase C isoforms (aPKCs). The signal cascade mediated by this kinase is involved in growth factor stimulated cell proliferation and muscle cell differentiation. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MAP2K5 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads MAP2K5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MAP2K5 could matter depends on whether native MAP2K5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MAP2K5 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label MAP2K5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
