Mapkapk5 - MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 5

Enables mitogen-activated protein kinase binding activity; p53 binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in Ras protein signal transduction; negative regulation of TOR signaling; and stress-induced premature senescence. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of dendritic spine development. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and septin cytoskeleton. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in brain; embryo; and lung. Orthologous to human MAPKAPK5 (MAPK activated protein kinase 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
