General description

p38γ, commonly known as MAPK12 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 12), is one of the four isoforms of the p38 MAPK family. This isoform shows predominant expression in skeletal muscle and is controlled by exercise.

Biochem/physiol Actions

p38γ is a key protein of the MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway and is involved in cell differentiation, growth, cycle and apoptosis and inflammation. It is essential for normal localization of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) at the kinetochore. This protein facilitates mitotic cell viability and suppresses chromosomal instability. Studies suggest that this protein negatively controls the expression of GLUT4 (glucose transporter) and the uptake of glucose mediated by contraction in adult skeletal muscles.

Skeletal muscle expresses at least three p38 MAPKs (alpha, beta, gamma). However, no studies have examined the potential regulation of glucose uptake by p38gamma, the isoform predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and highly regulated by exercise. L6 myotubes were transfected

The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) family, which is comprised of four protein isoforms, p38α, p38β, p38γ and p38δ, forms one of the key MAPK pathways. The p38 MAPKs are implicated in many cellular processes including inflammation, differentiation, cell

We have identified a third member of the p38 group of MAP kinase termed p38 gamma. The cDNA for this MAP kinase encodes an 367 amino acid polypeptide that is slightly greater than 60% identical to p38 and p38 beta.
