A few cases of renal, pancreatic, stomach and colorectal cancers showed weak to moderate membranous and/or cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Rare cases of lung cancer showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Cancer cells in general showed weak cytoplasmic staining or were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MAP3K3 (HGNC Symbol)

MAPKKK3, MEKK3
Description
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene product is a 626-amino acid polypeptide that is 96.5% identical to mouse Mekk3. Its catalytic domain is closely related to those of several other kinases, including mouse Mekk2, tobacco NPK, and yeast Ste11. Northern blot analysis revealed a 4.6-kb transcript that appears to be ubiquitously expressed. This protein directly regulates the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathways by activating SEK and MEK1/2 respectively; it does not regulate the p38 pathway. In cotransfection assays, it enhanced transcription from a nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB)-dependent reporter gene, consistent with a role in the SAPK pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
