DATASHEET  

p38 MAP kinase (MAPK), also called RK, CSBP, and SAPK2a, is the mammalian orthologue of the yeast HOG kinase. This family of kinases participates in signaling cascades that control cellular responses to cytokines and stress. Four isoforms of p38 MAPK (α,β,γ,δ) have been identified. Similar to the SAPK/JNK pathway, p38 MAPK is activated by a variety of cellular stresses including osmotic shock, inflammatory cytokines, lipopolysaccharides, UV light, and growth factors. MKK3 and SEK activate p38 MAPK by dual phosphorylation at threonine 180 and tyrosine 182. Activated p38 MAPK has been shown to phosphorylate and activate MAPKAP kinase 2 and to phosphorylate the transcription factors ATF-2, Max and MEF2.

Western blot analysis of human A431 cells (lanes 1 & 2) and rat A7r5 cells (lanes 3 & 4). The blot was probed with mouse monoclonal anti-p38α (C-terminal) clone M548 at a dilution of 1:250 (lanes 1 & 3) or 1:1000 (lanes 2 & 4).

Immunocytochemical labeling of p38α in aldehyde fixed and NP-40 permeabilized human NCI-H446 lung carcinoma cells. The cells were labeled with mouse monoclonal anti-p38α (PM5481). The antibody was detected using goat anti-mouse DyLight® 594.



Clone M548 was generated from a recombinant protein corresponding to amino acid residues in the C-terminal region of human p38α. This sequence is identical in rat and mouse p38α.
