MEK-4 (phospho Ser80) Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-MEK-4 (phospho Ser80) Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

MAP2K4 encodes a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. Members of this family act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation, and development. They form a three-tiered signaling module composed of MAPKKKs, MAPKKs, and MAPKs.Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 is phosphorylated at serine and threonine residues by MAPKKKs and subsequently phosphorylates downstream MAPK targets at threonine and tyrosine residues. A similar protein in mouse has been reported to play a role in liver organogenesis. A pseudogene of MAP2K4 is located on the long arm of chromosome X. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
