- Description
- jnk-1 encodes a serine/threonine kinase that is the sole C. elegans member of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) subgroup of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases; JNK-1 exhibits kinase activity in vitro that is dependent upon activation by the JKK-1 MAPKK; a JNK-1::GFP translational fusion protein is expressed in nearly all neuronal cell bodies and processes, including the nerve ring, head and tail ganglions, and the dorsal and ventral nerve cords, at all stages of development.
