P38 Signaling Pathway

p38 Mitogen activated protein kinases (p38MAPK) are a highly evolutionary conserved group of protein kinases, which are central for cell adaptation to environmental changes as well as for immune response, inflammation, tissue regeneration, and tumour formation. p38α is the best characterized, whereas the functions of p38β, p38γ and p38δ have been less studied. The four p38MAPKs are ubiquitously expressed, although the level of expression of each isoform varies in particular tissues. Moreove...
