Dual Specificity Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase 7

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (419 aa, ~47 kDa) is encoded by the human MAP2K7 gene. This protein plays a role in signal transduction that mediates the cellular responses to proinflammatory cytokines and environmental stress.
