描述：

p38α MAP Kinase (L53F8) Mouse mAb鼠单抗能够检测内源性p38α MAPK总蛋白水平。该抗体不能与JNK/SAPK、p42/44 MAPK以及其他p38亚型发生交叉反应。该单克隆抗体是采用重组p38 MAPK蛋白免疫动物而获得。p38 MAP kinase (MAPK),也被称为RK (1)或CSBP (2)，是酵母中HOG激酶在哺乳动物中的同源蛋白，在细胞因子和应急诱导的信号转导过程中起重要作用。(1-4)。已经发现了4种亚型的p38 MAPK，分别是p38α, β, γ（也被称为Erk6或 SAPK3）以及δ (也被称为 SAPK4)。与SAPK/JNK通路类似，p38 MAPK可以被多种细胞压力所激活，包括渗透压休克，炎症因子，脂多糖（LPS），紫外线照射和生长因子（1-5）。MKK3, MKK6和SEK能够使p38 MAPK的Thr180 和Tyr182位点磷酸化，从而激活p38 MAPK。激活的p38 MAPK能够磷酸化并激活MAPKAP kinase 2 (3)，进而最终磷酸化ATF-2 (5), Max (6)和MEF2等转录因子(5-8)。SB203580 (4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfinylphenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-imidazole)是p38 MAPK的选择性抑制剂。该复合物通过抑制p38 MAPK及后续HSP27的磷酸化，抑制MAPKAPK-2的激活（9）。SB203580能够结合到p38 MAPK与ATP结合的位置从而抑制p38 MAPK的催化活性，但不会通过上游激酶抑制p38 MAPK的磷酸化（10）。

Specificity / Sensitivity

p38α MAP Kinase (L53F8) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of total p38α MAPK. This antibody does not cross-react with either JNK/SAPK or p42/44 MAPK or other isoforms of p38.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant p38 MAPK protein.

Background

p38 MAP kinase (MAPK), also called RK (1) or CSBP (2), is the mammalian orthologue of the yeast HOG kinase that participates in a signaling cascade controlling cellular responses to cytokines and stress (1-4). Four isoforms of p38 MAP kinase, p38α, β, γ (also known as Erk6 or SAPK3), and δ (also known as SAPK4) have been identified. Similar to the SAPK/JNK pathway, p38 MAP kinase is activated by a variety of cellular stresses including osmotic shock, inflammatory cytokines, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), UV light, and growth factors (1-5). MKK3, MKK6, and SEK activate p38 MAP kinase by phosphorylation at Thr180 and Tyr182. Activated p38 MAP kinase has been shown to phosphorylate and activate MAPKAP kinase 2 (3) and to phosphorylate the transcription factors ATF-2 (5), Max (6), and MEF2 (5-8). 
 SB203580 (4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfinylphenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-imidazole) is a selective inhibitor of p38 MAPK. This compound inhibits the activation of MAPKAPK-2 by p38 MAPK and subsequent phosphorylation of HSP27 (9). SB203580 inhibits p38 MAPK catalytic activity by binding to the ATP binding pocket, but does not inhibit phosphorylation of p38 MAPK by upstream kinases (10).
