    Product Description

    The MAPK Family Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugated Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means to study the activation status of members of the MAPK family of proteins without the need for a fluorescent secondary antibody.

    Background

    Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a widely conserved family of serine/threonine protein kinases involved in many cellular programs, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and death. p38 MAP kinase (MAPK), also called RK (1) or CSBP (2), is the mammalian orthologue of the yeast HOG kinase that participates in a signaling cascade controlling cellular responses to cytokines and stress (1-4). The p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) signaling pathway can be activated in response to a diverse range of extracellular stimuli including mitogens, growth factors, and cytokines (5-7), and research investigators consider it an important target in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer (8). The stress-activated protein kinase/Jun-amino-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) is potently and preferentially activated by a variety of environmental stresses including UV and gamma radiation, ceramides, inflammatory cytokines, and in some instances, growth factors and GPCR agonists (9).
