Product Type Specific: Protein kinase pan-specific antibody
Antibody Code: NK100-5
Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific
Protein UniProt: P36507 Protein SigNET: P36507 Antibody Type: Polyclonal
Antibody Host Species: Rabbit
Antibody Immunogen Source: Human MEK2 (MKK2, MAP2K2) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01AVV90
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: PNGVFTPDFQEFVNKC
Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues P334 to C349
Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.
Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.
Antibody Concentration: 0.75 mg/ml
Storage Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, 0.05% Thimerasol
Storage Conditions: For long term storage, keep frozen at -40°C or lower. Stock solution can be kept at +4°C for more than 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray
Antibody Dilution Recommended: 1 µg/ml for immunoblotting
Antibody Potency: Strong immunoreactivity with recombinant human MEK2 on protein dot blots.
Scientific Background: MEK2 (MAP2K2) is a Dual specificity protein kinase of the STE group and STE7 family. Phosphorylation of S222 and S226 increases its phosphotransferase activity. Phosphorylation of S216 inhibits phosphotransferase activity. It controls the concomitant phosphorylation of the threonine and tyrosine in a Thr-Glu-Tyr sequence in MAP kinases. It particularly targets and activates the ERK1 and ERK2 MAP kinases.
