MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAPKAPK2 gene.[5][6][7]

Function

This gene encodes a member of the

HSP27 was shown to be its major direct substrate in vivo. Two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.[8]

Vascular barrier

MK2 pathway has been demonstrated to have a key role in maintaining and repairing the integrity of endothelial barrier in the lung via actin[9] and vimentin remodeling. Activation of MK2 via its phosphorylation by p38 has been shown to restore the vascular barrier[7] and repair vascular leak,[10] associated with over 60 medical conditions, including Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a major cause of death around the world.[11]

SASP initiation

MAPKAPK2 mediates the initiation of the

Interleukin 1 alpha (IL1A) is found on the surface of senescent cells, where it contributes to the production of SASP factors due to a positive feedback loop with NF-κB.[14][15] Translation of mRNA for IL1A is highly dependent upon mTOR activity.[16] mTOR activity increases levels of IL1A, mediated by MAPKAPK2.[14]
