p38 MAPK

p38 kinases are a group of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Like JNK/c-Jun, the p38 kinases are responsive to stresses such as osmotic shock and cytokine stimulation; consequently they are also classified as stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs).

p38 kinases are a group of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Like JNK/c-Jun, the p38 kinases are responsive to stress stimuli such as osmotic shock and cytokine stimulation; they are also classified as stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs). p38 also responds to insulin and growth factor stimulation and is often activated during normal immune and inflammatory responses. The active form of p38 phosphorylates specific cellular targets and also regulates gene expression via activation of specific transcription factors.

There are four isoforms of p38: α-, β-, γ- and δ. p38α and β are ubiquitously expressed, while the expression of p38γ and p38δ varies between tissue types. Activation of p38α is dependent on both stimulus and cell type; however, all isoforms of p38 are activated by MAPKKs - in particular, MKK3 and MKK6. Downstream targets of p38α and β include protein kinases such as MAPKAPK2 (MK2) and MNK1, and a range of transcription factors.

p38 has been linked to numerous cellular processes, including inflammation, apoptosis, and the cell cycle. In recent years, p38 has been isolated as a major therapeutic target for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
