Function
Its physiological substrate seems to be the small heat shock protein. In vitro can phosphorylate glycogen synthase at 'Ser-7' and tyrosine hydroxylase. This kinase phosphorylates Ser in the peptide sequence, Hyd-X-R-X-S, where Hyd is a large hydrophobic residue. Mediates both ERK and p38 MAPK/MAPK14 dependent neutrophil responses. Participates in TNF alpha-stimulated exocytosis of secretory vesicles in neutrophils. Plays a role in phagocytosis-induced respiratory burst activity.
Tissue Specificity
