Claim: MAPK7 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAPK7 gene, a member of the MAP kinase family that act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals and activated by activated by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5 (MAP2K5/MEK5) and critical for cardiovascular development and is essential for endothelial cell function.
Evidence: Mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 also known as MAP kinase 7 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAPK7 gene. MAPK7 is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases 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. This kinase is specifically activated by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5 (MAP2K5/MEK5). MAPK7 is also critical for cardiovascular development and is essential for endothelial cell function.
