Binding Specificity: Thr202/Tyr204

Reactivity: Human, Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This ERK1/2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA

Specificity: Rabbit Anti-ERK1/2 (Phospho-Thr202/Tyr204) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of human and rat ERK1 and ERK2 when dually phosphorylated at Thr202 and Tyr204 of ERK1 (Thr185 and Tyr187 of ERK2), and singly phosphorylated at Tyr204.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): The antibody does not cross-react with the corresponding phosphorylated residues of either JNK/SAPK or p38 MAP kinase. Predicted to react with mouse ERK1 and ERK2 protein according to sequence homology.

Characteristics: Rabbit Anti-ERK1/2 (Phospho-Thr202/Tyr204) Polyclonal Antibody is developed in rabbit using a KLH-coupled synthetic dual phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr202/Tyr204 of human ERK1 (Swiss Prot: P27361) and ERK2 (Swiss Prot: P28482).

Purification: Affinity chromatography using dual phosphopeptide, cross -adsorbed with corresponding single phosphopetide and non-phosphopeptide

Immunogen: KLH-coupled synthetic dual phospho-peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr202/Tyr204 of human ERK1 (Swiss Prot: P27361) and ERK2 P28482

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Working concentrations for specific applications should be determined by the investigator. The appropriate concentrations may be affected by secondary antibody affinity, antigen concentration, the sensitivity of the method of detection, temperature, the length of the incubations, and other factors. The suitability of this antibody for applications other than those listed below has not been determined. The following concentration ranges are recommended starting points for this product.

ELISA: 0. 05-0. 2 µg/mL
Western blot: 1-2 µg/mL

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: Reconstitute the lyophilized antibody with deionized water (or equivalent) to a final antibody concentration of 0.5 mg/mL.

Concentration: 0.5 mg/mL

Buffer: lyophilized with PBS, pH 7.4, containing 0.02 % sodium azide

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.

Handling Advice: Small volumes of antibody will occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. Before use, briefly centrifuge the vial to dislodge any liquid in the container's cap.
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

Storage: -20 °C

Storage Comment: The antibody is stable in lyophilized form if stored at -20 °C or below. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for 2-3 weeks at 2-8 °C. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20 °C or below.

Target Details for ERK1/2

Target: ERK1/2 (MAPK1/3) (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 1/3 (MAPK1/3))

Alternative Name: ERK1/2 (MAPK1/3 Products)

Synonyms: erk1/2 antibody, mitogen-activated protein kinase antibody, erk1/2 antibody

Background: ERK (extracellular signal regulated kinase), also known as MAPK (mitogen activated protein kinase) includes two closely related isoforms ERK1 and ERK2 (p44 and p42 MAP Kinase). ERK1/2 signaling pathway can be activated in response to a diverse range of extracellular stimuli including mitogens, growth factors, and cytokines. The downstream effects of ERK1/2 signaling pathway are linked to the regulation of cell growth and differentiation as well as the cytoskeleton. Downstream targets of ERK1/2 contain p90RSK and the transcription factor Elk-1. ERK1 and ERK2 are phosphorylated within the activation loop on both a threonine and a tyrosine residue (within a Thr-Glu-Tyr motif) by MEKs (MAPK/ERK kinases), thereby greatly elevating the activity of ERK1/2. ERK1/2 are negatively regulated by a family of dual-specificity (Thr/Tyr) MAPK phosphatases
