Mouse Anti-MAP2K3 (Dual Specificity Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Kinase 3, Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Kinase 3, MAP Kinase Kinase 3, MAPKK 3, MKK3, MAPK/ERK Kinase 3, MEK 3, MEK3, PRKMK3, Stress-activated Protein Kinase Kinase 2, SAPK Kinase 2, SAPKK2, SAPKK-2, SKK2)
MKK3 is a protein kinase that phosphorylates the p38 MAPK. Phosphorylation by MKK3 occurs on threonine and tyrosine residues and increases the activity of p38 to stimulate transcription factors ATF2 and Elk-1. MKK3, together with MKK6, serves as upstream regulators of p38 MAPK activation. A structural variant, MKK3b, has been identified that contains 29 more aa at its N-terminus.
