Product details:
JNK2 ELISA Kit (ab218265) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of JNK2 protein in cell culture extracts and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate JNK2 with 80.7 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
JNK2 is a c-Jun N-terminal kinase related to JNK1 and JNK3; all are mitogen-activated protein kinase family members. The JNKs are activated in response to stress stimuli, including inflammatory cytokines, ultraviolet irradiation, heat shock, and osmotic shock. JNK2 functions in signal transduction be phosphorylating transcription factors. JNK2 amino acid sequence is highly conserved across mammals and human JNK2 has approximately 81% sequence identity to human JNK1 and 84% to JNK3.

C-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 also known as JNK2 is a member of the MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) family. JNK2 plays a significant role in transmitting signals within cells. It is a protein with a mass of approximately 48 kDa and exists in various tissues including the brain heart and liver. JNK2 is ubiquitously expressed and has two main isoforms produced by alternative splicing. These isoforms are involved in different biological functions emphasizing the protein's versatility.
Biological function summary
C-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 is key in regulating processes such as cell growth apoptosis and differentiation. JNK2 is part of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathways and forms interactions with several proteins including the scaffolding proteins known as JNK-interacting proteins (JIPs). These complexes help coordinate the response of JNK2 in cellular stress and inflammatory responses. JNK2 is also critical in modulating the expression of genes by activating transcription factors such as c-Jun and ATF2.
Pathways
JNK2 operates within the MAPK signaling pathway by integrating various upstream signals to exert effects on gene expression. JNK2 phosphorylates and activates transcription factors playing an important role in cellular responses to stress. It is closely connected to other proteins within the pathway such as JNK1 and JNK3 together contributing to the complex regulation of stress-induced apoptosis and pro-inflammatory responses. These interactions highlight JNK2's essential function across multiple signaling networks.
Research connects c-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 to both cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Its role in controlling apoptosis and cell proliferation links JNK2 to tumor progression where abnormal JNK2 activity can lead to oncogenesis. Additionally in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's dysregulated JNK2 signaling may accelerate neuronal death. JNK2's association with other proteins involved in these disorders such as amyloid precursor protein in Alzheimer's disease highlights its influence in pathological processes.
