Cat. Num. AAA222783

• Gene Names: Map2k5; Mek5
• Reactivity: Bovine (Expected from Sequence), Chicken (Expected from Sequence), Dog (Expected from Sequence), Human (Expected from Sequence), Mouse (Expected from Sequence), Primate (Expected from Sequence), Xenopus (Expected from Sequence), Zebrafish (Expected from S
• Applications: Western Blot
• Synonyms: MEK 5; Polyclonal Antibody; RABBIT ANTI RAT MEK 5 (pSer311/Thr315); anti-MEK 5 antibody

• Host: Rabbit
• Reactivity: Bovine (Expected from Sequence), Chicken (Expected from Sequence), Dog (Expected from Sequence), Human (Expected from Sequence), Mouse (Expected from Sequence), Primate (Expected from Sequence), Xenopus (Expected from Sequence), Zebrafish (Expected from S
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Specificity: This item specifically recognises 49kDa MEK5, also known as MAP2K5, when phosphorylated at Ser311 and Thr315. ; ; MEK5 is a dual specificity serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the MAP kinase kinase family, which acts as a key regulator in a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade, and hence growth factor-induced cellular stimulation. MEK5 exists in naturally occurring MEK5alpha and MEK5beta splice variants, the former of which is known to specifically activate/regulate MAPK7/ERK5/BMK1, whilst the latter may act as a suppressor of MAPK7 activation. Activation of MEK5 itself is regulated by upstream MAP3K3/MEKK3, and phosphorylation of MEK5 at both the Ser311 and Thr315 sites has been implicated in cell proliferation.
• Form/Format: Purified; Purified IgG - liquid
• Sequence Length: 448

• Applicable Applications for anti-MEK 5 antibody: Western Blot (WB)*
• Application Notes: Western Blot: This item detects a band of approximately 49kDa in rat testes cell lysates.; Western Blotting: Maximum Dilution: 1/1000; Application Note: For the detection of phosphoproteins, tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors such as 1mM Sodium Orthovanadate should be added to the sample buffer. Milk or other casein-based blocking solutions are not recommended as casein is a phosphoprotein and its use can result in high background.
• Perservative Stabilisers: 0.09% Sodium Azide (NaN3); 0.01% Bovine Serum Albumin; 50% Glycerol
• Immunogen: Synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to an amino acid sequence within MEK5, which includes phoshorylated Ser311 and Thr315.; Buffer Solution
• Antiserum Preparation: Antisera to MEK5 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
• Target Species: Rat
• Preparation and Storage: Store at 4 degree C or at -20 degree C if preferred. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.; Shelf Life: 12 months from date of despatch.

NCBI Description

kinase involved in signal transduction in the cell [RGD, Feb 2006]

Uniprot Description

MEK5: a dual specificity protein kinase of the STE7 family. Activates ERK5 and is itself phosphorylated and activated by MEKK3, as well as by atypical protein kinase C isoforms. Involved in growth factor stimulated cell proliferation and muscle cell differentiation. Four alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.

Protein type: Kinase, protein; Protein kinase, STE; Protein kinase, dual-specificity (non-receptor); EC 2.7.12.2; STE group; STE7 family
