OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that forms a component of protein kinase-mediated signal transduction cascades. The encoded kinase participates in the regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads MAP3K6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MAP3K6 could matter depends on whether native MAP3K6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
MAP3K6 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 MAP3K6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
