Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(MBS9603867 at 1/100 staining Human brain cancer tissue by IHC-P. The sample was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step in citrate buffer was performed. The sample was then blocked and incubated with the antibody for 1.5 hours at 22 degree C. An HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary.)

Function: Serine/threonine-protein kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway. Acts as a MAPK kinase kinase kinase (MAP4K) and is an upstream activator of the stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAP/JNK) signaling pathway and to a lesser extent of the p38 MAPKs signaling pathway. Required for the efficient activation of JNKs by TRAF6-dependent stimuli, including pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) such as polyinosine-polycytidine (poly(IC)), lipopolysaccharides (LPS), lipid A, peptidoglycan (PGN), or bacterial flagellin. To a lesser degree, IL-1 and engagement of CD40 also stimulate MAP4K2-mediated JNKs activation. The requirement for MAP4K2/GCK is most pronounced for LPS signaling, and extends to LPS stimulation of c-Jun phosphorylation and induction of IL-8. Enhances MAP3K1 oligomerization, which may relieve N-terminal mediated MAP3K1 autoinhibition and lead to activation following autophosphorylation. Mediates also the SAP/JNK signaling pathway and the p38 MAPKs signaling pathway through activation of the MAP3Ks MAP3K10/MLK2 and MAP3K11/MLK3. May play a role in the regulation of vesicle targeting or fusion. regulation of vesicle targeting or fusion.
Subunit Structure: Interacts with TRAF2, TRAF6, MAP3K1/MEKK1 and MAP3K11/MLK3. Interacts with RAB8A (By similarity).
Post-translational Modifications: Polyubiquitinated through 'Lys-48'-polyubiquitin chains, allowing proteasomal turnover. Ubiquitination requires the kinase activity of MAP4K2/GCK. Autophosphorylated in response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF), endotoxins or proinflammatory stimuli. Autophosphorylation leads to activation.
Similarity: The PEST domains are Pro-, Glu-, Ser-, and Thr-rich domains. Proteins with PEST domains are frequently targets of degradation by the ubiquitin proteasome. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Predicted: 92 kDa
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. Although this kinase is found in many tissues, its expression in lymphoid follicles is restricted to the cells of germinal centre, where it may participate in B-cell differentiation. This kinase can be activated by TNF-alpha, and has been shown to specifically activate MAP kinases. This kinase is also found to interact with TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), which is involved in the activation of MAP3K1/MEKK1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Product Notes
The MAP4K2 map4k2 (Catalog #AAA9603867) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MAP4K2 Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MAP4K2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA (EIA). WB: 1:500-1:2000 IHC: 1:50-1:200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAP4K2 map4k2 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 "MAP4K2, Polyclonal 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.Precautions
