Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Specificity
This antibody detects endogenous levels of MKK6 only when phosphorylated at serine207.
Purification
Immunoaffinity Chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Immunogen
Synthetic phosphopeptide derived from Human MKK6 around the phosphorylation site of Serine 207 (V-D-Sp-V-A).

MAP2K6
(Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase 6 (MAP2K6))
Mitogen activated protein kinase kinase 6 (MEK6 or MKK6) belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family and the MAPK kinase subfamily (MAP2K, MKK or MEKs). MEK6, closely related to MEK3, catalyzes the concomitant phosphorylation of a threonine and a tyrosine residue in MAP kinase p38, thus activating it, in response to inflammatory cytokines and environmental stress. As an essential component of p38 MAP kinase mediated signal transduction pathway, this protein is involved in many cellular processes such as stress induced cell cycle arrest, transcription activation and apoptosis.Synonyms: Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 6, MAP kinase kinase 6, MAPK/ERK kinase 6, MAPKK 6, MEK6, MKK6, SAPKK3
