Anti-MAPK8 (clone W24V187) Recombinant Antibody Coupled Liposome (VS-1024-FY188) (CAT#: VS-1024-FY188)

• Potential Clinical Applications
• Melanoma

• Clone
• W24V187

• Antibody Type
• IgG

• Antibody Host
• Rabbit

• Antibody Reactivity
• Human

• Antibody Description
• This antibody, crafted from recombinant rabbit sources, is designed to selectively bind to the JNK1 protein. JNK1, part of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, is involved in regulating cellular responses to stress and apoptosis. The specificity of this recombinant monoclonal antibody for JNK1 makes it an essential tool for investigating signaling pathways related to neurodegeneration and inflammatory diseases.

• Introduction
• The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. This kinase is activated by various cell stimuli, and targets specific transcription factors, and thus mediates immediate-early gene expression in response to cell stimuli. The activation of this kinase by tumor-necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is found to be required for TNF-alpha induced apoptosis. This kinase is also involved in UV radiation induced apoptosis, which is thought to be related to cytochrom c-mediated cell death pathway. Studies of the mouse counterpart of this gene suggested that this kinase play a key role in T cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

• Function
• Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in various processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, transformation and programmed cell death.
  Extracellular stimuli such as pro-inflammatory cytokines or physical stress stimulate the stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAP/JNK) signaling pathway.
