Phospho-p38 MAPK (Thr180/Tyr182) Recombinant antibody

A stress-activated serine/threonine protein kinase, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), belongs to the MAP kinase superfamily. Diverse extracellular stimuli, including ultraviolet light, irradiation, heat shock, high osmotic stress, proinflammatory cytokines and certain mitogens, trigger a stress-regulated protein kinase cascade culminating in activation of p38 MAPK through phosphorylation on a TGY motif within the kinase activation loop. The p38 MAPK undergoes dual phosphorylation at Thr182 and Tyr180 in the Thr-Gly-Tyr activation loop by MAP kinase kinase 6 (MKK6). Upon activation, p38 MAPK phosphorylates multiple substrates, including MAPK activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2) and activating transcription factor 2 (ATF-2). (PMID: 26901653, PMID: 10807318)
