Enables ATP binding activity; MAP kinase activity; and protein C-terminus binding activity. Involved in several processes, including protein autophosphorylation; response to glucose; and stress-activated MAPK cascade. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Used to study diabetic neuropathy and osteoporosis. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease and anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis. Orthologous to human MAPK14 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 14).
