MAPKAPK2 Antibody

Rabbit anti-MAPKAP kinase 2 antibody, MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2, MAPK-activated protein kinase 2, MAPKAP kinase-2, MK2, mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase-2, MAPKAP-K2, MAPKAPK-2, MK-2, MK2

This antibody was affinity purified from whole rabbit serum prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of rabbit MAPKAP Kinase 2 conjugated to KLH using maleimide. A terminal cysteine residue was added to facilitate coupling.

This affinity-purified antibody is directed against rabbit MAPKAP Kinase 2 and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. This polyclonal anti-MAPKAP Kinase 2 antibody recognizes native and over-expressed protein found in various tissues and extracts. This sequence is conserved 100% in human, mouse, rabbit, rat, hamster, chicken, Xenopus and zebrafish. Cross reactivity with MAPKAP Kinase 2 from other sources has not been tested.

Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Anti-MAPKAP kinase 2 antibody is tested by western blotting and suitable for ELISA, immunoprecipitation and kinase assays. Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in immunohistochemistry and other immunological methods. The antibody detects a single 44 kDa protein in crude extracts prepared either from unstimulated (p/n w09-000-364) or TNFα stimulated ((p/n w09-000-367) human HeLa cell lysates. A 1:15,000 dilution is recommended for ELISA. The researcher should determine optimal titers for other applications.
