MAPK14 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MAPK14

Official Full Name: mitogen-activated protein kinase 14provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the 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. This kinase is activated by various environmental stresses and proinflammatory cytokines. The activation requires its phosphorylation by MAP kinase kinases (MKKs), or its autophosphorylation triggered by the interaction of MAP3K7IP1/TAB1 protein with this kinase. The substrates of this kinase include transcription regulator ATF2, MEF2C, and MAX, cell cycle regulator CDC25B, and tumor suppressor p53, which suggest the roles of this kinase in stress related transcription and cell cycle regulation, as well as in genotoxic stress response. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

MAPK14 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that facilitate the functional analysis of the MAPK14 gene, also known as p38 MAP kinase. These cell lines have undergone genetic modification to disrupt the expression of the MAPK14 gene, providing researchers with a valuable tool for studying the role of p38 MAP kinase in various cellular processes. p38 MAPK is a critical component of the MAPK signaling pathway, which regulates cellular responses to stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to enable scientists to investigate the downstream effects of MAPK14 loss-of-function. By eliminating its expression, researchers can assess changes in signaling pathways, gene expression profiles, and cellular behavior, thereby elucidating the gene's role in physiological and pathological contexts. This functional analysis is essential for understanding how p38 MAPK contributes to diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Scientific applications of MAPK14 knockout cell lines extend into both basic research and clinical studies. In the laboratory, they are invaluable for drug discovery and development, particularly in evaluating therapeutic targets. Clinically, they can help identify biomarkers for disease progression and treatment responses, making them integral to precision medicine initiatives.

One of the most significant advantages of using MAPK14 knockout cell lines is their precise genetic modification, as opposed to conventional pharmacological inhibitors that may have off-target effects. This specificity allows for clearer interpretations of the role of MAPK14 without confounding variables, thereby enhancing the reliability of experimental results. Furthermore, these cell lines can be easily integrated into existing protocols for cell culture and analysis, providing convenience and efficiency for researchers.

For those in the fields of molecular biology, pharmacology, and genetic research, MAPK14 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a crucial resource for advancing our understanding of cell signaling pathways and their implications in health and disease. With our commitment to quality and innovation in biological products, we aim to support the scientific community by providing reliable tools that enhance research capabilities and foster new discoveries.
