Background: MKK7 is a kinase involved in the cellular stress response. Results: MKK7 regulates circadian gene expression and the stability of an essential circadian component in unstressed mammalian cells. Conclusion: MKK7 functions as a circadian clock regulator. Significance: Our identification of role of MKK7 in the circadian clock provides insight into the importance of stress-responsive molecules in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
