Enables

This protein enables 5 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
protein serine/threonine kinase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate, and ATP + protein threonine = ADP + protein threonine phosphate. [GOC:bf, MetaCyc:PROTEIN-KINASE-RXN, PMID:2956925]
MAP kinase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: protein + ATP = protein phosphate + ADP. This reaction is the phosphorylation of proteins. Mitogen-activated protein kinase; a family of protein kinases that perform a crucial step in relaying signals from the plasma membrane to the nucleus. They are activated by a wide range of proliferation- or differentiation-inducing signals; activation is strong with agonists such as polypeptide growth factors and tumor-promoting phorbol esters, but weak (in most cell backgrounds) by stress stimuli. [GOC:ma, ISBN:0198547684]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
ATP bindingmolecular functionBinding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator. [ISBN:0198506732]
protein serine kinase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate. [RHEA:17989]

Located In

This protein is located in 2 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
nucleoplasmcellular componentThat part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus. [GOC:ma, ISBN:0124325653]
cytosolcellular componentThe part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. [GOC:hjd, GOC:jl]

Active In

This protein is active in 2 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
cytoplasmcellular componentThe contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. [ISBN:0198547684]
nucleuscellular componentA membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent. [GOC:go_curators]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 15 target(s):

osteoblast differentiationbiological processThe process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of an osteoblast, a mesodermal or neural crest cell that gives rise to bone. [CL:0000062, GO_REF:0000034, GOC:jid]
positive regulation of gene expressionbiological processAny process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression. Gene expression is the process in which a gene's coding sequence is converted into a mature gene product (protein or RNA). [GOC:txnOH-2018]
stress-activated protein kinase signaling cascadebiological processThe series of molecular signals in which a stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) cascade relays a signal. [GOC:mah]
positive regulation of interleukin-12 productionbiological processAny process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of interleukin-12 production. [GOC:mah]
p38MAPK cascadebiological processA MAPK cascade containing at least the p38MAPK (MAPK14) MAP kinase, or Hog1 in yeast. It starts with the activation of a MAP3K, and the consecutive activation of a MPK2K and of p38MAPK. The cascade can also contain an additional tier: the upstream MAP4K. The kinases in each tier phosphorylate and activate the kinases in the downstream tier. The p38MAPK cascade is activated by stress signals, including hyperosmolarity, as well as by G protein-coupled receptors, growth factors, and cytokines, and results in cellular responses such as cell proliferation, cell differentiation, apoptosis and inflammation.

positive regulation of muscle cell differentiationbiological processAny process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of muscle cell differentiation. [CL:0000187, GOC:ai]
stress-activated MAPK cascadebiological processA MAPK cascade that starts with the activation of a stress-activated MAP kinase cascade. [GOC:ai, PMID:15936270]
cardiac muscle cell proliferationbiological processThe expansion of a cardiac muscle cell population by cell division. [GOC:dph, GOC:rph, PMID:11161571]
negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell proliferationbiological processAny process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cardiac muscle cell proliferation. [GOC:dph, GOC:rph]
bone developmentbiological processThe process whose specific outcome is the progression of bone over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Bone is the hard skeletal connective tissue consisting of both mineral and cellular components. [GOC:dph]
cellular response to interleukin-1biological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an interleukin-1 stimulus. [GOC:mah]
cellular response to UV-Bbiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a UV-B radiation stimulus. UV-B radiation (UV-B light) spans the wavelengths 280 to 315 nm. [GOC:mah]
cellular senescencebiological processA cell aging process stimulated in response to cellular stress, whereby normal cells lose the ability to divide through irreversible cell cycle arrest. [GOC:BHF, PMID:28682291]
cellular response to virusbiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a virus. [GOC:dos]
intracellular signal transductionbiological processThe process in which a signal is passed on to downstream components within the cell, which become activated themselves to further propagate the signal and finally trigger a change in the function or state of the cell.
