p38 MAPK

The p38 MAPK family consists of highly conserved proline-directed serine-threonine protein kinases that are activated in response to a number many growth factors, cytokines, and chemotactic substances, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), PDGF, TNF, interleukins, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). It is well known that p38 is involved in inflammation, apoptosis, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cell differentiation.

The p38 MAPK family is composed of four proteins: p38α (encoded by the gene Mapk14), p38β (Mapk11), p38γ (Mapk12), and p38δ (Mapk13). Their coding genes have a distinct tissue distribution and they appear differentially expressed, being Mapk14 the most highly expressed. p38 MAPKs are substrates for three MAP2K (MKK6, MKK3, and MKK4). The contribution of each of these MAP2K to p38 MAPKs activation depends on the stimulus and the cell type. The MAP3Ks that lead to p38 MAPKs activation are ASK1, DLK1, TAK1, TAO1, TAO2, TPL2, MLK3, MEKK3, MEKK4, and ZAK1.

    Rhamnocitrin
    Inhibitor 99.67%
    Rhamnocitrin is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent that targets STIM-1, NFATc3 and MAPK pathways and can scavenge DPPH (IC50=28.38 mM). Rhamnocitrin selectively inhibits oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in vascular endothelial cells and neurons. Rhamnocitrin up-regulates miR-185 to inhibit STIM-1-mediated store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), thereby blocking NFATc3 nuclear translocation and downstream inflammatory factor expression, while inducing heme oxygenase HO-1 expression and regulating the ERK/p38 MAPK pathway, inhibiting antioxidant and pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as IL-6, IL-8) and adhesion molecules (such as ICAM-1, VCAM-1). Rhamnocitrin can be used in the study of endothelial-related inflammatory diseases (such as sepsis, acute lung injury, atherosclerosis) and neuroprotection (such as oxidative damage of PC12 cells).
