MK2 has a protein mass of approximately 44 kDa. It is widely expressed in various tissues indicating its broad functional roles. MK2 interacts with MAP kinases facilitating the transmission of signals within cells during stress responses and inflammation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nMK2 plays an important role in the cellular stress response by regulating cytokine production particularly in inflammation. It acts as part of a protein complex with p38 MAPK enhancing its kinase activity. This interaction allows MK2 to control the expression of inflammatory cytokines and other stress-responsive proteins. The complex also responds to cellular stress signals allowing it to modulate gene expression effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMK2 contributes to the p38 MAPK signaling pathway a major route for stress and inflammatory responses in cells. MK2 often interacts with related proteins like p38 MAPK which are directly upstream in the signaling cascade. Additionally MK2 is involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA stability and translation interfacing with the NF-kB signaling pathway highlighting its regulatory role in inflammation.\u003cbr\u003e\nMK2's role in inflammation links it to numerous inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. MK2's interaction with other proteins like p38 MAPK and downstream effectors such as transcription factors emphasizes its therapeutic potential. Targeting MK2 and its interaction with these proteins may offer novel treatments for conditions characterized by dysregulated inflammatory responses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843846557865,"sku":"ab60307","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab60307","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
