MAPK8/9 Antibody

Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAPK8 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the MAPK8 gene to chromosome 10. The single long open reading frame encodes a putative protein kinase with a predicted mass of 44.2 kD. This kinase play a key role in T cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation.
