Background Information

Function

JNK1, also known as mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 - MAPK8, is a serine/threonine-protein kinase. It is an important player in signaling transduction pathways governing cellular response to external stimuli, including ultraviolet radiation (UV), inflammatory cytokines, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). JNK1 phosphorylates several transcription factors, such as c-Jun, Elk-1, and ATF2, affecting their transcription activity.

Tissue specificity

JNK1 is ubiquitously expressed.

Involvement in disease
  • JNK-mediated phosphorylation governs a variety of important cellular processes, and abnormalities of JNK1 activity have been implicated in obesity and cancer.

Isoforms

There are four isoforms of JNK1 (PMID: 8654373), giving rise to 46 kDa and 55 kDa isoforms. JNK1 isoforms differ in their substrate specificity and tissue expression profiles.

Post-translational modifications

JNK1 is phosphorylated by MAPK kinases (MAPKK).

Cellular localization

JNK1 is present both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. Stress conditions and other stimuli can cause a shift in JNK1 subcellular distribution.
