Overview
Catalog #	bs-70152r
Product Name	MEK1/2 (Ser218,222) Antibody
Applications	WB
Specificity	Specific for endogenous levels of the ~45 kDa MEK 1/2 protein phosphorylated at Ser218/222. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phosphopeptide used as antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide. Note: The phosphosites in human MEK 1/2 are Ser218 and Ser222; the phosphosites in mouse MEK 1/2 are Ser217 and Ser221.
Reactivity	Human, Mouse
Predicted Reactivity	Rat, Dog, Bovine, Chicken, Zebrafish, Xenopus, Non-Human Primate
Specifications
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Host	Rabbit
Source	Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser218/222 of human MEK1/2, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).
Modification Site	Ser218,222
Clonality	Polyclonal
Clone #	#REF!
Isotype	IgG
Concentration	Lot dependent
Purification	Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum
Storage Buffer	10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 g per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.
Storage Condition	Storage at -20C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20C.

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 (Ahn, 1993; Chong et al., 2003). This pathway also plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in the brain (Adams and Sweatt, 2002). Activated MEK 1 acts as a dual specificity kinase phosphorylating both a threonine and a tyrosine residue on MAP kinase (Kyriakis et al., 1991; Seger et al., 1991; Crews et al., 1992).
