• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Purity/Purification: Erk5 antibody was purified by affinity purification.
• Form/Format: Supplied in PBS buffer containing 50% glycerol, 1% BSA, and 0.02% thimerosal.
• Concentration: 500 ug/ml (varies by lot)
• Sequence Length: 815

• Applicable Applications for anti-Erk5 antibody: Western Blot (WB)
• Application Notes: WB: 0.5-4 ug/ml
• Biological Significance: Erk 5 shares high homology in the amino terminal kinase domain with Erk1/2. However, the long carboxy terminal kinase domain makes Erk5 a unique MAP kinase. Erk5 is activated by a variety of extracellular signals. The direct upstream kinase of Erk5 is defined as MEK5. Studies show that Erk5 pathway is involved in proliferation, differentiation, oncogenesis, and development.
• Cross-Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
• Immunogen: Erk5 antibody was raised in Rabbit using synthetic peptide from human Erk5 as the immunogen.
• Preparation and Storage: Store at -20 degree C. For long-term storage, aliquot and freeze at -70 degree C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases 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. This kinase is specifically activated by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5 (MAP2K5/MEK5). It is involved in the downstream signaling processes of various receptor molecules including receptor type kinases, and G protein-coupled receptors. In response to extracelluar signals, this kinase translocates to cell nucleus, where it regulates gene expression by phosphorylating, and activating different transcription factors. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding two distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

ERK5: a protein kinase of the MAPK family. Phosphorylated and activated by MEK5. Involved in the signaling processes downstream of various receptors including receptor tyrosine kinases and G protein-coupled receptors. Translocates to cell nucleus in response to extracelluar signals, where it regulates gene expression by phosphorylating various transcription factors. Mouse knockout shows a role in development and integrity of blood vessels. May block apoptosis in endothelial cells. Required for transduction of EGF growth signal, constitutively activated in ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer, and downstream of activated Mek5 in metastatic prostate cancerFour alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding two distinct isoforms have been reported.
