Protein Domain : Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 13 IPR027258

Type	Family
Description	MAP3K13 (also known as leucine zipper-bearing kinase LZK) activates the c-Jun-NH2 terminal kinase (JNK) pathway through activation of the MAP kinase kinase MAP2K7 [ , ]. MAP3K13 acts synergistically with peroxiredoxin-3 (PRDX3) to regulate the activation of NF-kappa-B in the cytosol. This activation is kinase-dependent and involves activating the IKK complex, the IKBKB-containing complex that phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-kappa-B []. MAP3K13 forms dimers/oligomers through its dual leucine zipper-like motif, and that this is necessary for activation of the JNK/SAPK pathway [].
Short Name	MAPKKK13
