Catalog no.: ABIN361510

Additional Information

Format: Affinity-purified

Description: 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). Anti-Phospho-Ser311, Thr315 MEK5 Western blot of rat testes lysate showing specific labeling of the ~49k MEK5 protein (Control). Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phospho-peptide used as antigen (Peptide) but not by the corresponding dephospho-peptide (not shown).

Specificity: 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.

Application Details

Application Notes: Recommended Dilution: WB: 1:1000 Quality Control: Western blots performed on each lot.

Purification: Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho- and dephosphopeptide affinity columns.

Storage: Store at -20 °C, stable for 1 year

Restrictions: For Research Use only
