MAPK8, 1-427aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

MAPK8 also known as mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 JNK beta 2. MAPK8 is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases 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. This is activated by various cell stimuli, and targets specific transcription factors, and thus mediates immediate-early gene expression in response to cell stimuli. Recombinant human MAPK8, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
