mitogen-activated protein kinase 13; stress-activated protein kinase 4; mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 delta; MAP kinase p38 delta (MAPK13, PRKM13, SAPK4)

Function: - responds to activation by environmental stress & pro-inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating downstream targets - role in regulation of protein translation by phosphorylating & inactivating EEF2K - activated by phosphorylation on Thr & Tyr by either of two dual specificity kinases, MAP2K3 & MAP2K6 - dually phosphorylated on Thr-180 & Tyr-182, which activates the enzyme Cofactor: Mg+2 Structure: - TXY motif contains the Thr & Tyr whose phosphorylation activates the MAP kinases - belongs to the protein kinase superfamily, CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family, MAP kinase subfamily - contains 1 protein kinase domain Expression: - expressed in testes, pancreas, small intestine, lung & kidney - abundant in macrophages - also present in neutrophils, CD4+ T-cells, & endothelial cells
