Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 8

Cot belongs to the STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. It is shown to mediate phosphorylation of histone H3 at Serine 10 position on the c-fos promoter that contributes to its transcriptional regulation ultimately affecting cellular transformations (PMID: 17724252).
