Recombinant Human C-Jun-amino-terminal kinase-interacting protein 2 (MAPK8IP2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q13387

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MAPK8IP2

Target Full Name

C-Jun-amino-terminal kinase-interacting protein 2

Target Function

The JNK-interacting protein (JIP) group of scaffold proteins selectively mediates JNK signaling by aggregating specific components of the MAPK cascade to form a functional JNK signaling module. JIP2 inhibits IL1 beta-induced apoptosis in insulin-secreting cells. May function as a regulator of vesicle transport, through interactions with the JNK-signaling components and motor proteins.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

JIP scaffold family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed mainly in the brain and pancreas, including insulin-secreting cells. In the nervous system, more abundantly expressed in the cerebellum, pituitary gland, occipital lobe and the amygdala. Also expressed in fetal brain. Very low levels found in ut
