MAPK1

mitogen-activated protein kinase 1

Nominated Target, Selected for Target Enabling Resource Development

This gene encodes a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. The activation of this kinase requires its phosphorylation by upstream kinases. Upon activation, this kinase translocates to the nucleus of the stimulated cells, where it phosphorylates nuclear targets. One study also suggests that this protein acts as a transcriptional repressor independent of its kinase activity. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein, but differing in the UTRs, have been reported for this gene.

AD Risk Scores

About AD Risk Scores

The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has developed a Target Risk Score (TRS) to objectively rank the potential involvement of specific genes in AD. The TRS is derived by summing two component risk scores, the Genetic Risk Score and the Multi-omic Risk Score, each of which is derived from a meta-analysis of multiple harmonized data sets. More information about the methodology used to define these risk scores is available here.

AD Risk Scores for MAPK1

The TRS for MAPK1, along with the component Genetic and Multi-omic Risk Scores, is shown here. The scores for MAPK1 are superimposed on the genome-wide score distributions. If No Data is Currently Available is displayed for a score, that score was not calculated for MAPK1.

Biological Domain Classification

About Biological Domains

A biological domain represents a standardized area of biology defined by a set of discrete, biologically coherent GO terms. The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has defined nineteen biological domains associated with AD, and objectively mapped genes to those biological domains using GO term annotations. More information about the methodology used to define AD biological domains, and to generate genome-wide biological domain mappings, is available here.

Biological Domains for MAPK1

Select a biological domain on the left to see the list of GO terms that link MAPK1 to it on the right. The percentage value displayed next to the currently selected biological domain indicates the proportion of MAPK1's total unique GO terms that map to the biological domain. The ratio displayed on the right indicates how many of the biological domain's total GO terms MAPK1 is annotated with.
