Product Type Specific: Protein kinase pan-specific antibody

Antibody Code: NK104-2

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: Q13163

Protein SigNET: Q13163

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human MEK5 (MAP2K5, MKK5) sequence peptide

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: AFEYEDEDGDRITVRSC

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues A59 to S74; Post-N-terminus

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced on an A.B.I. automated peptide synthesizer. The peptide was cleaved from the synthesis resin with HF and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by amino acid 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. 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: 0.25 mg/ml

Storage Buffer: 100 mM Tris-glycine, pH 7.0

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, but either 0.1% sodium azide or 0.05% Thimerasol should be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray

Antibody Dilution Recommended: 2 µg/ml for immunoblotting

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human; Rat

Antibody Positive Control: The observed molecular mass of the processed target protein on SDS-PAGE gels is reported to be around 47-52 kDa.

Scientific Background: MEK5 (MAP2K5) is a Dual specificity protein kinase of the STE group and STE7 family. It is activated by phosphorylation on Ser/Thr by MAP kinase kinase kinases. Activation of this pathway appear to play a critical role in protecting cells from stress-induced apopotosis, neuronal survival and cardiac development and angiogenesis by acting as a scaffold protein for the construction of a complex consisting of MAP3K2 or MAP3K3 and MAP3K5 and MAPK7.
