Related Product Information for MAPK7 blocking peptide

Plays a role in various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and cell survival. The upstream activator of MAPK7 is the MAPK kinase MAP2K5. Upon activation, it translocates to the nucleus and phosphorylates various downstream targets including MEF2C. EGF activates MAPK7 through a Ras- independent and MAP2K5-dependent pathway. May have a role in muscle cell differentiation. May be important for endothelial function and maintenance of blood vessel integrity. MAP2K5 and MAPK7 interact specifically with one another and not with MEK1/ERK1 or MEK2/ERK2 pathways. Phosphorylates SGK1 at Ser-78 and this is required for growth factor-induced cell cycle progression. Involved in the regulation of p53/TP53 by disrupting the PML-MDM2 interaction.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. This kinase is specifically activated by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5 (MAP2K5/MEK5). It is involved in the downstream signaling processes of various receptor molecules including receptor type kinases, and G protein-coupled receptors. In response to extracelluar signals, this kinase translocates to cell nucleus, where it regulates gene expression by phosphorylating, and activating different transcription factors. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding two distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

ERK5: a protein kinase of the MAPK family. Phosphorylated and activated by MEK5. Involved in the signaling processes downstream of various receptors including receptor tyrosine kinases and G protein-coupled receptors. Translocates to cell nucleus in response to extracelluar signals, where it regulates gene expression by phosphorylating various transcription factors. Mouse knockout shows a role in development and integrity of blood vessels. May block apoptosis in endothelial cells. Required for transduction of EGF growth signal, constitutively activated in ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer, and downstream of activated Mek5 in metastatic prostate cancerFour alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding two distinct isoforms have been reported.
