Abstract: c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) family is one of members of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily. The JNK signal pathway can be activated by cytokines, growth factors, stresses, and so on. Many studies suggested that the JNK signal pathway plays a pivotal role in cell differentiation, apoptosis, stress, the initiation and progress of considerable human diseases. In this review, we mainly focus on the constitute, regulation, "cross talk"about JNK signal pathway.
