JIP-1 polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
MAPK8IP1 encodes a regulator of the pancreatic beta-cell function. C-Jun-amino-terminal kinase-interacting protein 1 is highly similar to JIP-1, a mouse protein known to be a regulator of c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (Mapk8). C-Jun-amino-terminal kinase-interacting protein 1 has been shown to prevent MAPK8 mediated activation of transcription factors, and to decrease IL-1 beta and MAP kinase kinase 1 (MEKK1) induced apoptosis in pancreatic beta cells. This protein also functions as a DNA-binding transactivator of the glucose transporter GLUT2. RE1-silencing transcription factor (REST) is reported to repress the expression of this gene in insulin-secreting beta cells. This gene is found to be mutated in a type 2 diabetes family, and thus is thought to be a susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes.
