Related Product Information for Mnk1 blocking peptide

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (immunoblot) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or immunostaining performed with the neutralized antibody.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a Ser/Thr protein kinase that interacts with, and is activated by ERK1 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases, and thus may play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines. This kinase may also regulate transcription by phosphorylating eIF4E via interaction with the C-terminal region of eIF4G. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene.

Uniprot Description

Mnk1: a CAM kinase of the MAPKKAPK family that can regulate translation. Following activation by MAP kinases, Mnk1 phosphorylates eIF4E at Ser209, increasing its affinity for the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap. Two MAPK phosphorylation sites in mouse Mnk1 (Thr197 and Thr202) are essential for its kinase activity. Three alternatively spliced human isoforms have been described.
