MEK5 (Ser311, Thr315) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

MEK5 (also known as MKK5) is a dual specificity serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the MAP kinase kinase family. MEK5 has been shown to specifically activate ERK5 (Zhou et al., 1995) whereas MEK5 itself is regulated by MEKK3 (Chao et al., 1999) . An important link between MEK5 and metastatic prostrate cancer has been demonstrated (Mehta et.al., 2003) . Dual phosphorylation of Ser-311 and Thr-315 have been implicated in cell proliferation (Cameron et al., 2004) .

Applications

Purification

Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Concentration

Lot Dependent

Dilution

WB (1:300-5000)

Buffer

10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Modification

Phosphorylation

Storage Conditions

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~49 kDa MEK5 protein phosphorylated at Ser311, Thr315. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phosphopeptide used as antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.
