MAP3K7IP2

MAP3K7IP2, also known as Mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 interacting protein 2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAP3K7IP2 gene. This gene is located on chromosome 17q23.3. MAP3K7IP2 is a member of the MAP3K7IP family, which includes MAP3K7IP1 and MAP3K7IP3. The protein is involved in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and cell differentiation. It interacts with MAP3K7, a member of the MAP3K family of kinases, which are involved in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. The exact function of MAP3K7IP2 is not fully understood, but it is believed to play a role in the regulation of MAP3K7 activity. Mutations in the MAP3K7IP2 gene have been associated with several diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of MAP3K7IP2 in these diseases and to develop potential therapeutic targets.
