Product Overview
Clone DFG-13 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (gene MAPK14) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 41.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 38 kDa.
p38α (MAPK14) is the best-studied p38 MAP kinase and is expressed in most cells. Activated by MKK3 and MKK6 in response to inflammatory cytokines, LPS and cellular stress, it phosphorylates kinases such as MK2 and many transcription factors to control cytokine production, differentiation and cell death, making it a common target in inflammation research.
