MEK1 (Thr292) Antibody

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) . Conversely, there also appears to be a feedback phosphorylation of MEK 1 by MAP kinase. The sites on MEK 1 that are phosphorylated by MAP kinase are Thr-292 and Thr-386 (Mansour et al., 1994) .
