| Description : |
c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), a stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK), is involved in cellular responses to environmental stresses. JNK kinases can be activated by stimuli such as UV light, radiation, protein synthesis inhibitors, ceramide, DNA-damaging drugs, chemopreventive drugs, TNF-a, and interleukin 1. JNK binds to an NH2-terminal region of ATF2 and c-Jun and phosphorylates two sites within the activation domain of each transcription factor. Three JNK genes (Jnk1, -2 and -3) have been identified in humans; however, splice variants result in a total of 10 isoforms. Therapeutic inhibition of JNK may provide clinical benefit in diseases as diverse as immune inflammatory (joint, bowel, pulmonary), ischemic injury (brain, cardiac) and neurodegenerative (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's) diseases. |
