About this item
MEK 1 and MEK 2 are integral components of the MAP kinase cascade that regulates cell growth and differentiation and this pathway also plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in brain. Activation of MEK 1/2 occurs via phosphorylation of two serine residues (Ser218 and Ser222). Activated MEK 1/2 then acts as a dual specificity kinase phosphorylating both a threonine and a tyrosine residue on ERK. This phosphorylation of ERK by MEK 1/2 is a critical step in the MAP kinase cascade.
The antibody immunolabels the ~45k MEK protein in a Western blot of serum-stimulated NIH 3T3 cells. The immunolabeling is blocked by the phosphopeptide used as antigen but not the corresponding non-phosphopeptide. Applications include Dot Blots (DB) and Western Blots (WB). Suitability for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has not yet been determined. Human, mouse, rat and Xenopus have 100% amino acid sequence identity with the antigen used to raise the antibody. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for DB and WB.
Affinity Purified
100 uL in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 ug per mL BSA and 50% glycerol.
For long term storage –80°C is recommended, but shorter term storage at –20°C is also acceptable as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to the presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for one year.
