| Oncogenic constitutive enzyme human p38γ is a serine/threonine protein kinase, activated through phosphorylation by environmental stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines responses. Breast cancer, hepatoma, colon cancer, atherosclerotic lesion (coronary artery lesion / hardening of artery), hypertension and inflammations are some of the diseases caused by human p38γ due to over expression. Over expression of the protein in turn induces anti-apoptosis and inflammatory responses, increased malignant transformation and cell differentiation. Thus, designing potent inhibitors against p38γ would be highly practicable for development of novel means of breast cancer therapeutics. Extensive preclinical data and proteomic analysis support... |
