Background: p38 alpha

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.
