Finally, ASKA mice should provide crucial information regarding the therapeutic index. ASKA-based in-vivo studies will be able to establish mechanism and target-based efficacy and toxicity for most protein kinases. Such information should prove useful in the preclinical testing of development candidates, because it will allow distinction between mechanism (target)-based and compound (off-target)-based toxicities [35], At this point, we would like to challenge the scientific community and express our interest in the development of p38-ASKA mice, to either promote or discourage the numerous clinical trials of p38 for various indications and to clarify the associated liver toxicity upon treatment of patients with p38 inhibitors. 

Phosphorylase kinase has been known for a longer time than protein kinase. It exists in resting muscle in a form which has little activity at or below the normal intracellular pH and exhibits less than maximal activity even at higher pH values. In the presence of ATP and Mg, it is converted to a form (activated phosphorylase kinase) having 25-50 times as much activity at pH 6.8 and about twice as much activity at pH 8.2. The ratio of kinase activity at pH 6.8 to that at pH 8.2 has been widely used as an index of kinase activation. Activation of phosphorylase kinase is exceedingly rapid in response to an increase in the level of cyclic AMP.
