REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

The p38 gamma protein also known as MAPK12 is a serine/threonine-protein kinase belonging to the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. It has a molecular mass of approximately 41 kDa. This protein is heavily expressed in skeletal muscle and heart tissues although expression occurs in other tissues at lower levels. p38 gamma plays a mechanical role in response to stress signals by phosphorylating downstream targets affecting cellular responses such as proliferation and differentiation.
Biological function summary
P38 gamma/MAPK12 influences the regulation of gene expression apoptosis and cell cycle processes. It operates within a specific MAP kinase signaling module that conveys signals from the cellular surface to the nucleus. This protein sometimes works in conjunction with other members of the MAPK family forming complexes that further fine-tune cellular responses under various conditions. Its activities help cells adapt to changes in their environment by modulating transcription factors and other important substrates.
Pathways
The MAPK pathway and the stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) pathway both involve p38 gamma/MAPK12. Within these pathways p38 gamma is closely related to proteins such as JNK1 and JNK2 which also respond to stress signals. These pathways are essential for transmitting signals that regulate cellular growth differentiation and stress responses revealing intricacies of cellular adaptation to the environment.
Aberrant activation or dysfunction of p38 gamma/MAPK12 relates to conditions like cancer and cardiac hypertrophy. In cancer p38 gamma can influence tumor progression and metastasis through its impact on cell proliferation and survival. It also interacts with other proteins like MKK3 and MKK6 which serve as upstream activators in oncogenic signaling pathways. In cardiac hypertrophy altered p38 gamma signaling affects cardiac muscle cell growth potentially leading to heart failure. Understanding these connections provides insight into the mechanisms underlying these disorders.
