Catalog No. ABIN103960

Product Details anti-MAPKAP Kinase 2 Antibody

Target: MAPKAP Kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2) (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase-Activated Protein Kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2))

Binding Specificity: AA 310-325

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This MAPKAP Kinase 2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA, Immunoprecipitation (IP)

Characteristics: Concentration Definition: by UV absorbance at 280 nm

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: Immunogen: This antibody was affinity purified from whole rabbit serum prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to aa 310-325 of rabbit MAPKAP Kinase 2 conjugated to KLH using maleimide. A terminal cysteine residue was added to facilitate coupling.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: This antibody is suitable for western blotting, ELISA, immunoprecipitation and kinase assays.  Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in immunohistochemistry and other immunological methods. The antibody detects a single 44 kDa protein in crude extracts prepared either from unstimulated (p/n w09-000-364) or TNFα stimulated ((p/n w09-000-367) human HeLa cell lysates. A 1:15,000 dilution is recommended for ELISA. The researcher should determine optimal titers for other applications.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Background: MAPKAP kinase-2 (or MK2) is an acronym for mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase-2. This enzyme is phosphorylated and activated by Erks and p38 MAPK in vitro. While multiple residues of MK2 are phosphorylated in vivo in response to stress, only four of the residues Thr25, Thr222, Ser272 and Thr334 are phosphorylated by p38 in an in vitro kinase assay.  MK2 is serine-threonine protein kinase that contains a proline rich sequence and two putative SH3-binding sites.  MK2 phosphorylates downstream components on a consensus Pro-X-Ser/Thr-Pro motif. The best-characterized MK2 substrate is hsp27. Although unknown, the physiological function of MK2 may be to increase stress resistance.  MK2 is an essential component in the inflammatory response that regulates biosynthesis of TNFα at a post-transcriptional level and MK2 is rapidly phosphorylated and activated in response to cytokines, stress and chemotactic factors.
