Anti-Mnk2 MKNK2 Antibody

MAP kinase-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 2;2.7.11.1; MAP kinase signal-integrating kinase 2; MAPK signal-integrating kinase 2; Mnk2; MKNK2; GPRK7, MNK2

Serine/threonine-protein kinase that phosphorylates SFPQ/PSF, HNRNPA1 and EIF4E. May play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines. Appears to regulate translation by phosphorylating EIF4E, thus increasing the affinity of this protein for the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap. Required for mediating PP2A-inhibition-induced EIF4E phosphorylation. Triggers EIF4E shuttling from cytoplasm to nucleus. Isoform 1 displays a high basal kinase activity, but isoform 2 exhibits a very low kinase activity. Acts as a mediator of the suppressive effects of IFNgamma on hematopoiesis. Negative regulator for signals that control generation of arsenic trioxide As (2) O (3) -dependent apoptosis and anti-leukemic responses. Involved in anti-apoptotic signaling in response to serum withdrawal. .
