Facts about Mitogen-activated protein kinase 6.
Atypical MAPK protein.
Phosphorylates microtubule- associated protein 2 (MAP2) and MAPKAPK5.The precise role of the complex formed with MAPKAPK5 is still unclear, but the complicated follows a complicated set of phosphorylation events: upon interaction with atypical MAPKAPK5, ERK3/MAPK6 is phosphorylated at Ser-189 and then mediates phosphorylation and activation of MAPKAPK5, which in turn phosphorylates ERK3/MAPK6. May promote entry in the cell cycle (By similarity).

Highest expression in the skeletal muscle, followed by the brain. Also found in heart, placenta, lung, liver, pancreas, kidney and skin fibroblasts.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Translocates to the cytoplasm following interaction with MAPKAPK5.
