OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. These family members function in a protein kinase signal transduction cascade, where an activated MAPK kinase kinase (MAP3K) phosphorylates and activates a specific MAPK kinase (MAP2K), which then activates a specific MAPK. This MAP3K protein plays an essential role in apoptotic cell death triggered by cellular stresses. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads MAP3K15 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MAP3K15 could matter depends on whether native MAP3K15 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
MAP3K15 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 MAP3K15 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
