Gene: MAPK13
Official Full Name: mitogen-activated protein kinase 13provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family. MAP kinases act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. The encoded protein is a p38 MAP kinase and is activated by proinflammatory cytokines and cellular stress. Substrates of the encoded protein include the transcription factor ATF2 and the microtubule dynamics regulator stathmin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene.

MAPK13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines in which the MAPK13 gene, also known as p38 alpha, has been specifically inactivated through targeted gene editing techniques. These cell lines serve as essential tools for researchers investigating the role of the MAPK pathway in cellular processes such as stress response, inflammation, and apoptosis. By knocking out the MAPK13 gene, scientists can elucidate its contribution to various pathophysiological conditions, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases.
The key function of the MAPK13 gene knockout is to disrupt the signaling cascade mediated by p38 MAP kinase. This kinase plays a critical role in transducing extracellular stress signals into cellular responses, acting through various modules that regulate gene expression, cell differentiation, and survival. By studying these knockout cell lines, researchers can assess the impact of MAPK13 loss on cell behavior and signaling networks, providing valuable insights into the therapeutic potential for modulating this pathway in clinical applications.
The scientific importance of MAPK13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their relevance in disease modeling, drug discovery, and therapeutic exploration. For instance, they are pivotal in understanding how p38 MAPK contributes to tumor progression and resistance mechanisms to chemotherapy. Moreover, these cell lines facilitate high-throughput screening of pharmacological agents aimed at selectively targeting MAPK pathways.
What sets our MAPK13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their high specificity and confirmed efficiency of gene knockout, ensuring reproducibility in experimental settings. Unlike traditional methods such as pharmacological inhibitors which can have off-target effects, these cell lines allow for precise investigation of MAPK13 function with minimized variability.
For researchers and clinicians, the ability to pinpoint the role of MAPK13 in a controlled environment can lead to significant advancements in developing targeted therapies and understanding disease mechanisms. With our commitment to producing high-quality, validated biological products, our expertise in gene editing and cell line development ensures that your research can leverage the latest innovations to drive scientific discovery forward.
