|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Application Note | Specific for the ~49k MEK5 protein phosphorylated at Ser311, Thr315. Immunolabeling of the MEK5 band is blocked by preadsorption with the phospho-peptide used as antigen but not be the corresponding dephospho-peptide. * The dilutions indicate recommended starting dilutions and the optimal dilutions or concentrations should be determined by the scientist. |

| Background | MEK5 (also known as MKK5) is a dual specificity serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the MAP kinase kinase family. MEK5 has been shown to specifically activate ERK5 (Zhou et al., 1995) whereas MEK5 itself is regulated by MEKK3 (Chao et al., 1999). An important link between MEK5 and metastatic prostrate cancer has been demonstrated (Mehta et.al., 2003). Dual phosphorylation of Ser311 and Thr315 have been implicated in cell proliferation (Cameron et al., 2004). |
| Research Area | Cancer antibody; Cell Biology and Cellular Response antibody; Signaling Transduction antibody |
| Calculated MW | 50 kDa |
| PTM | 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. |
