This anti-MAP2K5 antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody detecting MAP2K5 in WB. Suitable for Human, Mouse, Rat, Dog, Cow, Chicken, Xenopus laevis and Zebrafish (Danio rerio).
MAP2K5
Reactivity: Rat
WB, ELISA
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat tissue. It is anticipated that the antibody will react with mouse, human, chicken, bovine, canine, non-human primate, Xenopus, and Zebrafish tissues based on the fact that these species have 100 % homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.

Background
MEK5 (also known as MKK5) is a dual specificity serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the MAP kinase kinase family. MEK5 has been shown to specifically activate ERK5 (Zhou et al., 1995) whereas MEK5 itself is regulated by MEKK3 (Chao et al., 1999). An important link between MEK5 and metastatic prostrate cancer has been demonstrated (Mehta et.al., 2003). Dual phosphorylation of Ser311 and Thr315 have been implicated in cell proliferation (Cameron et al., 2004).
