In today's world, MAPK13 has taken a leading role in society, generating a significant impact in different areas of daily life. Since its emergence, MAPK13 has generated endless debates, criticisms, and reflections, becoming a topic of interest for different sectors and disciplines. Its influence has transcended borders and has become a fundamental part in decision-making, in the construction of identity, in the development of technology, and in the creation of new forms of communication. In this article, we will explore the many facets of MAPK13 and its relevance in contemporary society.
Mitogen-activated protein kinase 13 (MAPK 13), also known as stress-activated protein kinase 4 (SAPK4), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAPK13gene.[5]
Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. This kinase is closely related to p38 MAP kinase, both of which can be activated by proinflammatory cytokines and cellular stress. MAP kinase kinases 3, and 6 can phosphorylate and activate this kinase. Transcription factor ATF2, and microtubule dynamics regulator stathmin have been shown to be the substrates of this kinase.[5]
