Quick Overview for MEK1 antibody (pThr291) (ABIN362381)

Target: MEK1 (MAP2K1) (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase 1 (MAP2K1))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This MEK1 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB)

Product Details anti-MEK1 Antibody

Binding Specificity: pThr291

Specificity: The antibody detects endogenous level of MEK1 only when phosphorylated at threonine 291.

Purification: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.

Immunogen: Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pThr291 (P-R-T (p) -P-G derived from Human MEK1. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.

Isotype: IgG
