Recombinant Human MAPK1 Protein, GST-tagged

• Cat.No.: MAPK1-2008H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human MAPK1 Protein is produced by E. coli expression system. The target protein is expressed with sequence (Met1-Ser360) of human MAPK1 (Accession #NP_002736.3) fused with a GST tag at the N-terminus.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), 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. The activation of this kinase requires its phosphorylation by upstream kinases. Upon activation, this kinase translocates to the nucleus of the stimulated cells, where it phosphorylates nuclear targets. One study also suggests that this protein acts as a transcriptional repressor independent of its kinase activity. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein, but differing in the UTRs, have been reported for this gene.
