Relevance to Autism

Disruption of the MAPK8IP2 gene in mice results in reduced AMPA and enhanced NMDA receptor-mediated glutamatergic transmission in cerebellum and altered morphology of Purkinje cell dendritic arbors, as well as motor deficits and decreased social interaction (Giza et al., 2010).

Molecular Function

This gene encodes a scaffold protein that is thought to be involved in the regulation of the c-Jun amino-terminal kinase signaling pathway. This protein has been shown to interact with and regulate the activity of MAPK8/JNK1 and MAP2K7/MKK7 kinases.

Model Summary

Mutant mice exhibit reduced AMPA and enhanced NMDA receptor-mediated glutamatergic transmission in cerebellum, altered morphology of Purkinje cell dendritic arbors, and motor and cognitive deficits suggesting an autism phenotype.
