MAP2K3, also known as dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3, is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase is activated by mitogenic and environmental stress, and participates in the MAP kinase-mediated signaling cascade. It phosphorylates and thus activates MAPK14/p38-MAPK. This kinase can be activated by insulin, and is necessary for the expression of glucose transporter. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-318 from human MAP2K3, fused to His-tag at N-terminus expressed in E.coli.
