Related Product Information for MAPK8 recombinant protein

Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8), also known as JNK1, 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. The protein kinases JNK1 has been found to serve as critical molecular links between obesity, metabolic inflammation, and disorders of glucose homeostasis. It is critically involved in the promotion of diet-induced obesity, metabolic inflammation, and beta-cell dysfunction. The selective deficiency of JNK1 in the murine nervous system is sufficient to suppress diet-induced obesity. Genetic analysis indicates that the effects of JNK1 can be separated from the effects of JNK1 on obesity. JNK1 is a potential pharmacological target for the development of drugs that might be useful for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, JNK1 plays a major role in hypoxic cellular damage. JNK1 protein might be an attractive target for anti-hypoxic therapy in increasing resistance to many pathological conditions and diseases, leading to the oxygen deficit.

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 activated by various cell stimuli, and targets specific transcription factors, and thus mediates immediate-early gene expression in response to cell stimuli. The activation of this kinase by tumor-necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is found to be required for TNF-alpha induced apoptosis. This kinase is also involved in UV radiation induced apoptosis, which is thought to be related to cytochrom c-mediated cell death pathway. Studies of the mouse counterpart of this gene suggested that this kinase play a key role in T cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Five alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]

Uniprot Description

JNK1: a protein kinase of the MAPK family that is potently activated by a variety of environmental stresses, including UV and gamma radiation, ceramides, pro-inflammatory cytokines and, in some instances, by growth factors and GPCR agonists. Substrates include a number of transcription factors, primarily components of AP-1 such as c-Jun and ATF2, thus regulating AP-1 transcriptional activity. In T- cells, JNK1 and JNK2 are required for polarized differentiation of T-helper cells into Th1 cells. Binds to at least four scaffolding proteins, JIP-1, -2, -3 and -4. Activity increased in obesity. Inhibition or mouse knockout increases insulin sensitivity. Part of NFB pathway involved in inflammation and cancer, and signals downstream of Ras, though possibly as an apoptotic negative regulator of growth. Four alternatively-spliced isoforms have been described.
