MAPK13 Gene

HGNC Family Mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade
Name mitogen-activated protein kinase 13
Description This gene encodes a member of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family. MAP kinases act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. The encoded protein is a p38 MAP kinase and is activated by proinflammatory cytokines and cellular stress. Substrates of the encoded protein include the transcription factor ATF2 and the microtubule dynamics regulator stathmin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene.

Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMAPK13—also known as the p38δ isoform of mitogen‐activated protein kinase—is emerging as a multifunctional signal transducer in diverse cellular contexts. In epithelial and inflammatory settings, MAPK13 operates downstream of factors such as CLCA1 to mediate IL‑13–induced mucus production in airway epithelial cells, a mechanism linked to diseases like COPD. In parallel, in keratinocytes MAPK13 regulates differentiation by modulating ERK1/2 activity, promoting the expression of differentiation markers such as involucrin, and participating in apoptotic responses and inflammasome assembly; it also influences the organization of intercellular junctions that control cell adhesion and invasive behavior."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "8"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn cancer and senescence paradigms MAPK13 displays context‐dependent functions. It acts as a tau kinase phosphorylating multiple Alzheimer disease–related epitopes and, in melanoma, its promoter is frequently hypermethylated such that re‐expression can constrain proliferation—suggesting a tumor suppressive role. Conversely, elevated MAPK13 expression in breast and cholangiocarcinomas as well as colorectal cancer supports pro-survival signaling, metastatic behavior, and the maintenance of cancer stem-like cell populations. In addition, MAPK13 contributes to oncogene-induced senescence through DNA damage–linked mechanisms and modulates apoptosis in bystander T cells during HIV-1 infection."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "9", "end_ref": "16"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMAPK13 also plays critical roles in cellular stress responses, metabolic regulation, and differentiation processes. High-resolution structural studies of MAPK13 have enabled the rational design of specific inhibitors that may have therapeutic utility. Its expression is modulated by microRNAs to fine-tune osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, and its kinase activity—via phosphorylation of substrates like SQSTM1—is essential for directing misfolded proteins into aggresomes under proteasomal stress. Moreover, in adipose tissue, MAPK13 activation supports brown fat thermogenesis and energy expenditure, it regulates antifungal responses in myeloid cells, and it is implicated in redox and osmotic stress–induced cell cycle regulation through upstream kinases such as MKK4."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "17", "end_ref": "26"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Tatiana Efimova, Anne Deucher, Toshio Kuroki, et al.
