Anti-MAP Kinase, p38, beta (Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase p38 beta, Mitogen Activated Protein Kin

MAPK11 is a Ser/Thr kinase involved in a signal transduction pathway that is activated by changes in the osmolarity of the extracellular environment, by cytokines, or by environmental stress. It preferentially phosphorylates transcription factor ATF2. This protein is activated by phosphorylation on threonine and tyrosine by MKK6, and is inhibited by pyridinyl-imidazole related compounds. Highest expression levels are in the brain and heart, with additional expression in the placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
