- Product Overview:
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) mediate signal transduction from cell surface receptors to the nucleus and are classified into various subtypes. p38 MAPK is activated by environmental stresses and inflammatory cytokines and is critical for normal immune and inflammatory responses as it regulates the expression of many cytokines, transcription factors, and cell surface receptors.{14980} SB 203580 is a pyridinyl imidazole inhibitor of p38 MAPK that specifically blocks its kinase activity. SB 203580 does not however, disrupt JNK activity, which is activated by similar stressors to those which activate p38 MAPK.{15737} p38 MAPK activity in heat-shocked HeLa cells and osmotically stressed PC12 cells is inhibited by SB 203580 with an IC50 value of 0.6 µM.{15737} SB 203580 also prevents the activation of PKB/Akt by inhibiting phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) at IC50 values of 3-5 µM.{15738}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
