Entrez Gene summary for MINK1 Gene:

This gene encodes a serine/threonine kinase belonging to the germinal center kinase (GCK) family. The protein is

structurally similar to the kinases that are related to NIK and may belong to a distinct subfamily of NIK-related

kinases within the GCK family. Studies of the mouse homolog indicate an up-regulation of expression in the course

of postnatal mouse cerebral development and activation of the cJun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and the p38 pathways.

Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and four transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been

identified. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

GeneCards Summary for MINK1 Gene:

MINK1 (misshapen-like kinase 1) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with MINK1 include atrophic rhinitis, and balanitis. GO annotations related to this gene include protein serine/threonine kinase activity and small GTPase regulator activity. An important paralog of this gene is TAOK2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MINK1_HUMAN, Q8N4C8

Function: Serine/threonine kinase which acts as a negative regulator of Ras-related Rap2-mediated signal

transduction to control neuronal structure and AMPA receptor trafficking. Required for normal synaptic density,

dendrite complexity, as well as surface AMPA receptor expression in hippocampal neurons. Can activate the JNK and

MAPK14/p38 pathways and mediates stimulation of the stress-activated protein kinase MAPK14/p38 MAPK downstream of

the Raf/ERK pathway. Phosphorylates: TANC1 upon stimulation by RAP2A, MBP and SMAD1. Has an essential function in

negative selection of thymocytes, perhaps by coupling NCK1 to activation of JNK1

Function: Isoform 4 can activate the JNK pathway. Involved in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton reorganization,

cell-matrix adhesion, cell-cell adhesion and cell migration
