catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,function:Stress-activated serine/threonine kinase that may play a role in the response to environmental stress. Appears to act upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway. May play a role in cytoskeletal regulation.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 CNH domain.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subunit:Interacts with TRAF2 and NCK.,tissue specificity:Expressed ubiquitously. Highest levels observed in heart, brain and skeletal muscle.,
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Recycling endosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Associated with recycling endosomes and the cytoskeletal fraction upon RAP2A overexpression.
Expressed ubiquitously. Highest levels observed in heart, brain and skeletal muscle. Expressed in normal colonic epithelia and colorectal cancer tissues.
