Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Cow, Dog, Hamster

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This MAPKAP Kinase 2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP)

Product Details anti-MAPKAP Kinase 2 Antibody

Specificity: The antibody detects both 43 and 60 kDa isoforms, corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of MAPKAPK-2 on SDS-PAGE immunoblots. These 43 kDa and 60 kDa bands can be specifically inhibited by the relevant peptide.

Target Details for MAPKAP Kinase 2

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

Alternative Name: MAPKAP Kinase-2

Background: MAP kinase-activated protein kinase-2 (MAPKAPK-2), also known as p45 hsp27 kinase, is a 45-54 kDa serine-threonine protein kinase that contains a proline rich sequence and two putative SH3-binding sites. MAPKAPK-2 is activated in response to stress, IL-1 and TNF, possibly catalyzed by p38/Hog-dependent phosphorylation. One of the major substrates of MAPKAPK-2 is hsp27, which stimulates actin polymerization in order to facilitate recovery from destruction of cytoskeleton during cellular stresses. Two isoforms are produced due to alternative splicing of the same gene which differ in their C-terminals.Synonyms: MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2, MAPK-activated protein kinase 2, MAPKAP kinase 2, MAPKAPK-2, MAPKAPK2, MK2
