SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
text	highly enriched within postsynaptic densities

basic FUNCTION	regulating the JNK signaling pathway in brain and pancreatic beta cells
	decreasing IL1B induced apoptosis in beta-cells
	scaffold protein critically required for normal NMDA receptor function
	scaffold molecule that are implicated in the regulation of the JNK
	MAPK8IP1 and MAPK8IP2 proteins are required for normal glucose homeostasis, and can influence insulin-stimulated signal transduction mediated by IRS proteins

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

disruption of the Mapk8ip2 gene in mice reduces AMPA and enhances NMDA receptor-mediated glutamatergic transmission in cerebellum, changes the morphology of Purkinje cell dendritic arbors, and induces motor and cognitive deficits
