OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family. MAP kinases act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. The encoded protein is a p38 MAP kinase and is activated by proinflammatory cytokines and cellular stress. Substrates of the encoded protein include the transcription factor ATF2 and the microtubule dynamics regulator stathmin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads MAPK13 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MAPK13 could matter depends on whether native MAPK13 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
MAPK13 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 MAPK13 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
