ERK2/MAPK1 (clone AT1A4), anti-human

Description
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are reported to be critical regulatory factors for the growth andmigration of various cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). It has also been reported that the activation of the MAP kinase family, extracellular signal regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2), and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) via Src activation is important for AII-induced migration of VSMCs. MAPKs are intracellular signal-transduction pathways that have been shown to play a central role in the development of injury following ischemia in the brain and heart. MAPKs regulate gene expression, which is important in cell injury/repair and proliferation/differentiation.Alternative Names
