Anti-MEK1/2 (Ser218,222) Antibody

Our Anti-MEK1/2 (Ser218,222) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects mouse and human MEK1/2 (Ser218,222) and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB.

Product Specifications

Background

MEK 1 (MAP Kinase Kinase, also known as MKK) is an integral component of the MAP kinase cascade that regulates cell growth and differentiation (Ahn, 1993; Chong et al., 2003) . This pathway also plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in the brain (Adams and Sweatt, 2002) . Activated MEK 1 acts as a dual specificity kinase phosphorylating both a threonine and a tyrosine residue on MAP kinase (Kyriakis et al., 1991; Seger et al., 1991; Crews et al., 1992) .

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~45 kDa MEK 1/2 protein phosphorylated at Ser218/222. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phosphopeptide used as antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.
