• Applicable Applications for anti-MEK5 antibody: Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Peptide ELISA (EIA)
• Application Notes: WB: 1:1000-3000; IHC: 1:50-1:200; Peptide ELISA: 1:20,000-1:40,000
• Immunogen: A synthesized peptide derived from human MEK5 around the phosphorylation site of Thr315.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Fragment: Fab fragment
• Post Translational Modifications: Activated by phosphorylation on Ser/Thr by MAP kinase kinase kinases.Yersinia yopJ may acetylate Ser/Thr residues, preventing phosphorylation and activation, thus blocking the MAPK signaling pathway.
• Subunit Structure: Interacts with PARD6A, MAP3K3 and MAPK7. Forms a complex with SQSTM1 and PRKCZ or PRKCI (By similarity). Interacts with Yersinia yopJ.
• Similarity: Binds MAP3K2/MAP3K3 and MAPK7 via non-overlapping residues of the PB1 domain. This domain also mediates interactions with SQSTM1 and PARD6A (By similarity).Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase subfamily.
• Preparation and Storage: Store at -20 degree C. Stable for 12 months from date of receipt.

Western Blot (WB)

(Western blot analysis of extracts from 293 cells(UV treatment), using Phospho-MEK5 (Thr315) Antibody. The lane on the left was treated with blocking peptide.)

Western Blot (WB)

(Western blot analysis of MAP2K5 (Phospho-Thr315) using SK-OV3 whole cell lysates.-/+ means absence or presence of N peptide（non-phospho peptide) and P peptide(phospho peptide).)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(At 1/200 staining Rat lung tissue sections by IHC-P. The tissue was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step in citrate buffer was performed. The tissue 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 antibody.)

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase specifically interacts with and activates MAPK7/ERK5. This kinase itself can be phosphorylated and activated by MAP3K3/MEKK3, as well as by atypical protein kinase C isoforms (aPKCs). The signal cascade mediated by this kinase is involved in growth factor stimulated cell proliferation and muscle cell differentiation. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
