Application Details

Application Notes:

Immunohistochemistry Dilution: User Optimized

Application Note: Anti-MAPKAP kinase 2 antibody is tested by western blotting and suitable for 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.

Background: 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.
