The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine protein kinase that activates the p38/MAPK14 stress-activated MAPK cascade but inhibits the basal activity of the MAPK8/JNK cascade. The encoded protein is a member of the GCK subfamily of STE20-like kinases. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
A longitudinal mRNA expression analysis in post-mortem human blood samples identified two groups of up- and down-regulated genes, with pathway analysis indicating active processes promoting cell survival and DNA damage repair shortly after death [Antiga et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-021-96095-z].
