Recombinant ヒト MAP3K8/COT protein (GST tag N-Terminus)

一般的な情報

機能

Required for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced, TLR4-mediated activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway in macrophages, thus being critical for production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF (TNF) during immune responses. Involved in the regulation of T-helper cell differentiation and IFNG expression in T-cells. Involved in mediating host resistance to bacterial infection through negative regulation of type I interferon (IFN) production. In vitro, activates MAPK/ERK pathway in response to IL1 in an IRAK1-independent manner, leading to up-regulation of IL8 and CCL4. Transduces CD40 and TNFRSF1A signals that activate ERK in B-cells and macrophages, and thus may play a role in the regulation of immunoglobulin production. May also play a role in the transduction of TNF signals that activate JNK and NF-kappa-B in some cell types. In adipocytes, activates MAPK/ERK pathway in an IKBKB-dependent manner in response to IL1B and TNF, but not insulin, leading to induction of lipolysis. Plays a role in the cell cycle. Isoform 1 shows some transforming activity, although it is much weaker than that of the activated oncogenic variant.

Autophosphorylated (PubMed:1833717, PubMed:8226782). Isoform 1 undergoes phosphorylation mainly on Ser residues, and isoform 2 on both Ser and Thr residues (PubMed:8226782). Phosphorylated on Thr-290; the phosphorylation is necessary but not sufficient for full kinase activity in vitro and for the dissociation of isoform 1 from NFKB1, leading to its degradation (PubMed:15466476, PubMed:15699325). Phosphorylated on Ser-400 by IKBKB; the phosphorylation is required for LPS-stimulated activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway in macrophages (PubMed:17472361, PubMed:22988300).
