DEFINITION

Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (427 aa, ~48 kDa) is encoded by the human MAPK8 gene. This protein plays a role in serine/threonine phosphorylation, apoptosis and toll-like receptor signaling.

DesignNote

Inhibited by dual specificity phosphatases, and phosphothreonine/tyrosine activated by a Ras-dependent dual specificity MAP2K4/MAP2K7 cascade, MAPK8 mediates immediate-early gene expression. MAPK8 binds scaffolding proteins MAPK8IP1/2/3. MAPK8/UV-induced apoptosis appears related to cytochrome c-mediated cell death. MAPK8 activation by TNF-alpha induces apoptosis. MAPK8 appears to be required for T-helper cell differentiation into Th1 cells.
