Immunogen:
MEK 1 (Thr386) polyclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acids residues surrounding the phospho Thr386 of human MEK 1.
Conjugate:
Unconjugated
Tested Applications:
WB
Application Note:
Applications include Dot Blots (DB) and Western Blots (WB). Suitability for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has not yet been determined. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for DB and WB.
Specificity:
MEK1 antibody is specific for the 45k MEK 1 phosphorylated at Thr386.
Predicted Molecular Weight:
45

Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher.
Background:
MEK 1 (MAP Kinase Kinase, also known as MKK) is an integral component of the MAP kinase cascade that regulates cell growth and differentiation and this pathway also plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in brain. Activated MEK 1 acts as a dual specificity kinase phosphorylating both a threonine and a tyrosine residue on MAP kinase. Conversely there also appears to be a feedback phosphorylation of MEK 1 by MAP kinase. The sites on MEK 1 that are phosphorylated by MAP kinase are Thr292 and Thr386.
