Rabbit anti-Human MEKK3 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-MAP3K3 antibody
Anti-MEKK3 antibody
Background: MAP3K3(Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 3), also known as MAP/ERK KINASE KINASE 3, MEKK3 or MAPKKK3, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAP3K3 gene. MAP3K3 is contiguously distal to LYK5 on chromosome 17(Puffenberger et al., 2007). By yeast 2-hybrid analysis of a mouse T-cell cDNA library, Uhlik et al.(2003) showed that a C-terminal fragment of mouse Osm(CCM2) interacted with Mekk3, which activates p38 in response to sorbitol-induced hyperosmotic conditions. Mekk3 and Osm colocalized in the cytoplasmic compartment of cotransfected cells, and the Mekk3-Osm complex was recruited to Rac1 and cytoskeletal actin-containing membrane ruffles in response to sorbitol treatment. Protein interaction assays showed that Osm interacted directly with the Mekk3 substrate Mkk3(MAP2K3), with actin, and with both GDP- and GTP-loaded Rac1. Uhlik et al.(2003) concluded that the RAC1-OSM-MEKK3-MKK3 complex is required for regulation of p38 activity in response to osmotic shock.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene product is a 626-amino acid polypeptide that is 96.5% identical to mouse Mekk3. Its catalytic domain is closely related to those of several other kinases, including mouse Mekk2, tobacco NPK, and yeast Ste11. Northern blot analysis revealed a 4.6-kb transcript that appears to be ubiquitously expressed. This protein directly regulates the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathways by activating SEK and MEK1/2 respectively; it does not regulate the p38 pathway. In cotransfection assays, it enhanced transcription from a nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB)-dependent reporter gene, consistent with a role in the SAPK pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Product Notes
The MAP3K3 map3k3 (Catalog #AAA176176) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-MEKK3 antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MEKK3 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 MAP3K3 map3k3 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 "MEKK3, 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
