p38 alpha [p Thr180, p Tyr182] Antibody (948243) [Unconjugated]

p38 alpha phosphorylated at T180/Y182 was detected in immersion fixed HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line, untreated or treated with calf intestinal phosphatase, using Rat Anti-Human Phospho-p38 alpha (T180/Y182) Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB8692) at 25 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL013) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to nuclei.

Background

The p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) are a family of four related Ser/Thr kinases activated by proinflammatory cytokines and environmental stresses, such as UV irradiation and heat shock. Stress signals are delivered to this cascade by members of small GTPases of the Rho family (Rac, Rho, Cdc42). p38 MAPK is involved in the regulation of Hsp27 and MAPKAP-2 and several transcription factors including ATF2, STAT1, and indirectly CREB via activation of MSK1. The p38 MAPK protein also plays a role in cell differentiation, autophagy and apoptosis. Mkk3 and SEK can activate p38 MAPK by phosphorylation at Thr180 and Tyr182, which in turn activates the MAPKAP kinase 2 and regulating phosphorylation of ATF2, Mac and MEF2.
