Peptide Name: KinSub4RPLSP

Product Use: For assaying the phosphotransferase activity of Mitogen-activated protein-serine kinase p38 beta; Mitogen-activated protein kinase 11 (p38b, UniProt ID Q15759). The KinSub4RPLSP peptide demonstrated medium phosphotransferase activity with Brk, and exhibited high specificity when assayed with over 200 other protein kinases. A listing of other kinases that show appreciable phosphotransferase activity towards this peptide are listed in Table 1.

Scientific Background: p38b is one of several protein kinases that can phosphorylate KinSub4RPLSP. Human p38b (also known as MAPK11) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of 364 amino acid length, with a predicted molecular mass of 41357 Da. It is a member of the CMGC group of protein kinases in the MAPK family, and p38 subfamily. This kinase is moderate to highly expressed in most tested human tissues. Orthologues of p38b are highly conserved in animals and plants. p38b is activated by both proinflammatory cytokines and environmental stress (1). p38b is directly activated by phosphorylation at Y182 and probably T180 by MEK6 (MAP2K6, MKK6). Transcription factor ATF2/CREB2 has been shown to be a substrate of this kinase (2). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed. p38b has been linked with the development of inflammation and autoimmunity, diabetes and lung neuroendocrine carcinomas.
