A human gene encoding a novel mitogen-activated (MAP) kinase kinase, MKK7, provides methods and reagents for treating a variety of MKK7-mediated disorders, such as ischemic heart disease, kidney failure, oxidative liver damage, respiratory distress syndrome, heat and radiation burns, septic shock, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory diseases. MKK7 reagents can also be used to induce or prevent apoptosis.
