Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting  IP=Immunoprecipitation
Reactivity Key:  H=Human  R=Rat
Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

p38δ MAP Kinase (10A8) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total p38δ MAP kinase protein. This antibody does not cross-react with other isoforms of p38 MAP kinase.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues around the carboxy terminus of p38δ MAP kinase.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of purified recombinant full-length p38 MAP kinase GST fusion proteins, using p38 MAP kinase pan antibody (upper), or p38δ MAP Kinase (10A8) Rabbit mAb (lower).

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from 293, NBT-II and PC12 cells, using p38δ MAP Kinase (10A8) Rabbit mAb.

Background

p38 MAP kinase (MAPK), also called RK (1) or CSBP (2), is the mammalian orthologue of the yeast HOG kinase which 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, lipopolysaccharides (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).
