Rabbit MEK7 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-MAP2K7 antibody
Anti-MEK7 antibody
Background: MAP2K7(Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7), also known as MAP kinase kinase 7, MAPKK7, JNKK2, PRKMK7 or MKK7, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAP2K7 gene. This protein is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase family. The MKK7 protein exists as six different isoforms with three possible N-termini(alpha, beta, and gamma isoforms) and two possible C-termini(1 and 2 isoforms). Schramek et al.(2011) showed that the doxorubicin-mediated DNA damage response in human A549 lung carcinoma cells caused rapid phosphorylation and upregulation of p53(TP53). MKK7 knockdown reduced p53 phosphorylation, delayed p53 upregulation, and interfered with cell cycle arrest at G2/M. MKK7 was activated in primary lung tumors, and tumors with a p53 mutation showed even higher MKK7 phosphorylation. Schramek et al.(2011) concluded that MKK7 exerts its tumor suppressive function through p53.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
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 activates MAPK8/JNK1 and MAPK9/JNK2, and this kinase itself is phosphorylated and activated by MAP kinase kinase kinases including MAP3K1/MEKK1, MAP3K2/MEKK2,MAP3K3/MEKK5, and MAP4K2/GCK. This kinase is involved in the signal transduction mediating the cell responses to proinflammatory cytokines, and environmental stresses. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Uniprot Description
MKK7: a dual-specificity protein kinase of the STE7 family. Activates JNK1 and -2 by phosphorylating a Thr and a Tyr residue in the activation loop. Is activated by proinflammatory cytokines and environmental stress. Three alternatively spliced isoforms have been reported.

Product Notes
The MAP2K7 map2k7 (Catalog #AAA176030) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-MEK7 antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MEK7 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAP2K7 map2k7 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 "MEK7, 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
