From JNK to Pay Dirt: Jun Kinases, their Biochemistry, Physiology and Clinical Importance
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) were originally identified by their ability to phosphorylate c-Jun in response to UV-irradiation, but now are recognized as critical regulators of various aspects of mammalian physiology, including: cell proliferation, cell survival, cell death, DNA repair and metabolism. JNK-mediated phosphorylation enhances the ability of c-Jun, a component of the AP-1 transcription factor,...
