Peptide sequence around aa.181~185 (M-M-T-P-Y) derived from Human SAPK/JNK.
Alternative Synonym:
JNK2
Responds to activation by environmental stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating a number of transcription factors, primarily components of AP-1 such as c-Jun and ATF2 and thus regulates AP-1 transcriptional activity. In T-cells, JNK1 and JNK2 are required for polarized differentiation of T-helper cells into Th1 cells.
