Abstract excerpt
Palytoxin is a potent non-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-type skin tumor promoter. We used COS7 and HeLa cells to investigate the protein kinase cascades by which palytoxin activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38. Three p38 kinases have been identified: stress-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase-1 (SEK1), MAPK kinase 3 (MKK3), and MKK6. SEK1...
