It acts mechanically by dephosphorylating the phospho-tyrosine and phospho-serine\/threonine residues of its target proteins. The protein has a molecular weight of about 39 kDa. MKP-1 is ubiquitously expressed but shows higher levels in specific tissues such as liver lung and brain where it regulates various cellular processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nMKP-1 influences cellular responses to stress and inflammation by inactivating mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). It does not exist as part of a permanent complex but temporarily interacts with MAPKs. By dephosphorylating these kinases MKP-1 modulates gene expression cell proliferation and apoptosis. Through these interactions the protein plays a significant role in protecting cells from excessive inflammatory signals and stress-induced damage.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe MKP-1 protein is integral to the MAPK signaling pathway and the JNK signaling cascade. MKP-1 directly affects the balance of MAPK-related proteins such as ERK JNK and p38 to help regulate various cellular outcomes. By dephosphorylating these proteins MKP-1 acts as a negative feedback regulator ensuring that cellular responses to external stimuli are controlled and do not become harmful.\u003cbr\u003e\nMKP-1 is associated with inflammatory diseases and cancer. Inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis show link with aberrant regulation of MKP-1 as it often interacts with MAPKs involved in inflammation. In cancer altered MKP-1 expression can affect tumor growth and progression due to its regulatory role on cell proliferation pathways. The protein's interaction with key signaling molecules in these diseases highlights its potential as a therapeutic target.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848613613737,"sku":"ab61201","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab61201","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
