Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmax-2 encodes, by alternative splicing, at least two isoforms of aputative p21-activated kinase that is required (redundantly with itsparalog, PAK-1) for normal axonal guidance of motoneurons, P cellmigration, and locomotion, with max-2(cy2);pak-1(ok448) double mutantsphenotypically resembling unc-73 or ced-10;mig-2 mutants; max-2 isexpressed ubiquitously in early embryos, then localizes to the anteriorembryo and is expressed in pharynx and head neurons; postembryonically,max-2 seems to be expressed in body wall touch receptors (ALM, PLM, PVD,and PLM), but can rescue max-2 mutations when transgenically expressedin ventral cord motoneurons; by themselves, max-2 mutations have onlymild axonal guidance phenotypes and only subtle defects in movement;MAX-2 is required for normal sensitivity to aldicarb; max-2 mutationssuppress UNC-5 overexpression phenotypes, and are dominantly enhanced byunc-5 or unc-6 mutations, indicating that MAX-2 functions downstream ofthe netrin receptor UNC-5.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005251

Automated_descriptionEnables mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gonad morphogenesis; inductive cell migration; and signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in neurons; pharynx; and ventral nerve cord.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (23)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
