Gene: MAP2K5
Official Full Name: mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase specifically interacts with and activates MAPK7/ERK5. This kinase itself can be phosphorylated and activated by MAP3K3/MEKK3, as well as by atypical protein kinase C isoforms (aPKCs). The signal cascade mediated by this kinase is involved in growth factor stimulated cell proliferation and muscle cell differentiation. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

MAP2K5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that lack the MAP2K5 gene, which encodes the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase 5, a crucial component of the MAPK signaling pathways. These cell lines serve as powerful tools for researchers investigating the role of MAP2K5 in various cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. By creating a knockout of this gene, scientists can effectively elucidate the downstream effects of disrupted MAPK signaling, thus enhancing the understanding of the pathways involved in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and other pathologies.
The primary function of MAP2K5 in cellular mechanisms is to act as a dual-specificity kinase that activates specific MAPK proteins, thereby regulating a variety of cellular responses to external stimuli. The knockout cell lines facilitate the investigation of these regulatory networks by enabling the assessment of phenotypic changes that occur in the absence of MAP2K5. This approach provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases where MAP2K5 is implicated, making these cell lines invaluable for both basic and applied research.
Scientifically, the presence of MAP2K5 knockout models in research and clinical settings allows for rigorous testing of therapeutic interventions targeting MAPK pathways. Researchers can assess the efficacy of new drug candidates in modulating these pathways, offering substantial implications for the treatment of cancer and other MAPK-driven diseases.
One distinct advantage of our MAP2K5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is the high level of specificity and reliability they provide compared to alternative approaches such as RNA interference or pharmacological inhibition, which may not completely abolish MAP2K5 functions. Additionally, these cell lines are rigorously validated, ensuring consistent performance in experimental setups.
For researchers and clinicians alike, these knockout cell lines represent a pivotal resource for advancing understanding and treatment of diseases linked to MAPK signaling. The value of our MAP2K5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is further accentuated by our company’s commitment to excellence in biological products and our expertise in developing targeted solutions for the scientific community.
