Glossaryc-Jun N-terminal kinase

regulates cellular stress responses and apoptosis

c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is a type of protein kinase that plays a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes, including inflammation, cell growth, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). It is activated in response to stress signals, such as UV radiation or cytokines, and can influence gene expression by modifying the activity of specific transcription factors like c-Jun.
