p38 MAPK alpha (pT180/Y182 + Total) ELISA Kit (ab176664) has been re-developed with new capture and detector antibodies. This new kit has the same name but a different product number (ab221013). We have identified new recombinant monoclonal antibodies to use in the SimpleStep ELISA platform that provide a higher sensitivity when quantifying Total p38 MAPKα protein in human and mouse cells.
Abcam's p38 MAPKα (pT180/Y182) and p38 MAPKα (Total) in vitro SimpleStep ELISA™ (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the semi-quantitative measurement of p38 MAPKα (pT180/Y182) and Total p38 MAPKα protein in human and mouse cells.
The SimpleStep ELISA™ employs an affinity tag labeled capture antibody and a reporter conjugated detector antibody which immunocapture the sample analyte in solution. This entire complex (capture antibody/analyte/detector antibody) is in turn immobilized via immunoaffinity of an anti-tag antibody coating the well. To perform the assay, samples or standards are added to the wells, followed by the antibody mix. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound material. TMB substrate is added and during incubation is catalyzed by HRP, generating blue coloration. This reaction is then stopped by addition of Stop Solution completing any color change from blue to yellow. Signal is generated proportionally to the amount of bound analyte and the intensity is measured at 450 nm. Optionally, instead of the endpoint reading, development of TMB can be recorded kinetically at 600 nm.
Sensitivity:
p38 MAPK (pT180/Y182) = 0.2 ng/mL
p38 MAPK (Total) = 0.3 ng/mL
As of May 2020, this kit was reformulated with new antibodies to maintain continued long term supply.

P38 alpha also known as MAPK14 is a significant member of the MAP kinase family involved in cellular response to stress signals. This protein has a molecular mass of about 38 kDa and is expressed in various tissues throughout the body. p38 alpha plays an important role in the signal transduction pathways that regulate inflammatory responses and cell differentiation. Its activity is modulated by multiple upstream kinases leading to cell-specific effects that are important for organismal homeostasis.
P38 alpha MAPK14 is a part of a larger mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) complex where it serves to mediate signals from external stressors to the appropriate cellular processes. It is particularly active in its roles involving inflammation and apoptosis regulation. The protein interacts with other members of the MAPK family and additional proteins such as TAB1 to conduct these biological signals efficiently.
P38 alpha integrates into the p38 MAPK pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway which are essential for managing cellular stress responses and inflammatory reactions. It closely interacts with other proteins like MKK3 and MKK6 which are directly upstream regulators phosphorylating and activating p38 MAPK14. This intricate connection allows p38 alpha to execute precise regulation within cellular environments.
P38 alpha MAPK14 is prominently associated with inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disorders. In these conditions its aberrant activation or expression can lead to pathological inflammation and tissue damage. Additionally p38 alpha’s connection with TNF-alpha in inflammation highlights its relevance in therapeutic targets for related disorders reflecting the significance of its modulation to potentially mitigate disease progression.
