NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CAMK) Ser/Thr protein kinase family, which belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. This protein contains conserved DLG (asp-leu-gly) and ENIL (glu-asn-ile-leu) motifs, and an N-terminal polybasic region which binds importin A and the translation factor scaffold protein eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF4G). This protein is one of the downstream kinases activated by mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. It phosphorylates the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), thus playing important roles in the initiation of mRNA translation, oncogenic transformation and malignant cell proliferation. In addition to eIF4E, this protein also interacts with von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL), ring-box 1 (Rbx1) and Cullin2 (Cul2), which are all components of the CBC(VHL) ubiquitin ligase E3 complex. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found, but the full-length nature and biological activity of only two variants are determined. These two variants encode distinct isoforms which differ in activity and regulation, and in subcellular localization. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
Uniprot Description
Mnk2: a ubiquituous CAM kinase of the MAPKKAPK family. Regulates translation by phosphorylating S209 of eIF4E, thus increasing the affinity of this protein for the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap. The phosphorylation of eIF4E S209 by the MNK1/2 kinases is required for eIF4E's oncogenic action. Phosphorylates Spry2 on S112 and S121, leading to the ubiquitination and degradation of Spry2. Five splice-variant isoforms have been described.

Product Notes
The MKNK2 mknk2 (Catalog #AAA9206959) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 402-432. The MNK2 (MKNK2) Antibody (C-term) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MNK2 (MKNK2) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). WB~~1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MKNK2 mknk2 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 "MNK2 (MKNK2), 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
