Related Product Information for anti-MAP2K2 antibody
Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2(MAP2K2), also called PRKMK2 or MEK2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAP2K2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. MAP2K2 is mapped to 19p13. 3. This kinase is known to play a critical role in mitogen growth factor signal transduction, and the inhibition or degradation of this kinase is found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Yersinia and anthrax. Recombinant MEK2 and MEK1 both could activate human ERK1 in vitro, and they further characterized biochemically the 2 MAP2Ks. MAP2K2 has been shown to interact with MAPK3 and ARAF.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase is known to play a critical role in mitogen growth factor signal transduction. It phosphorylates and thus activates MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK2/ERK3. The activation of this kinase itself is dependent on the Ser/Thr phosphorylation by MAP kinase kinase kinases. Mutations in this gene cause cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC syndrome), a disease characterized by heart defects, mental retardation, and distinctive facial features similar to those found in Noonan syndrome. The inhibition or degradation of this kinase is also found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Yersinia and anthrax. A pseudogene, which is located on chromosome 7, has been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

MEK2: a dual-specificity protein kinase of the STE7 kinase family. Phosphorylated and activated by Raf and Mos kinases. Phosphorylates a Thr and a Tyr residue in a Thr-Glu-Tyr sequence located in the activation loop of ERK2 and ERK3. A component of MAP kinase signal transduction pathways involved in mitogen growth factor signal transduction.

WB: 0.25-0.5ug/ml|Human, Mouse, Rat| ICC/IF: 5ug/ml|Human| FC/FACS/FCM: 1-3ug/1x106 cells|Human|. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAP2K2 map2k2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MEK2/MAP2K2, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
