ID:M3K15_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 15; EC=2.7.11.25; AltName: Full=Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 3; AltName: Full=MAPK/ERK kinase kinase 15; Short=MEK kinase 15; Short=MEKK 15; FUNCTION: May function in a signal transduction pathway that is activated by various cell stresses and leads to apoptosis. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. COFACTOR: Magnesium (By similarity). ENZYME REGULATION: Contains an N-terminal autoinhibitory domain. Activated by phosphorylation at Thr-812, inhibited by phosphorylation at Ser-924 and Ser-994 (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform 2 and isoform 3 are widely expressed. Isoform 2 highest levels are observed in fetal brain, and isoform 3 highest levels in pancreas, peripheral blood leukocytes, fetal brain and spleen. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase kinase subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
