Description_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ MAPKAPK3 is closely related to MAPKAPK2 sharing 72% nucleotide and 75% amino acid identity. MAPKAPK3 is activated by growth inducers and stress stimulation of cells. In vitro studies demonstrated that ERK, p38 MAP kinase and Jun N-terminal kinase were all able to phosphorylate and activate this kinase, which suggested the role of MAPKAPK3 as an integrative element of signaling in both mitogen and stress responses._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, with 150 mM NaCl, 0.2 5mM DTT, 0.1 mM EGTA, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM PMSF, and 25% glycerol._x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ PRECISIO is a registered trademark of Sigma-Aldrich Co.
