Product Usage Information

Application Dilution
Western Blotting 1:1000
Immunoprecipitation 1:50

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

MEKK2 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total MEKK2 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with MEKK3 protein.

Species Reactivity:

Human

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly292 of human MEKK2 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 2 (MEKK2/MAP3K2) belongs to the MAP3K family of Ser/Thr kinases. Research studies have demonstrated that MEKK2 plays a pivotal role in transducing mitogenic signals emanating from EGFR and FGF2R to JNK and ERK5 signaling cascades (1,2). Post-translationally, MEKK2 is regulated through multiple mechanisms, including dimerization (3,4), ubiquitination (5,6), phosphorylation (7), and methylation (8). Research studies implicate dysregulation of MEKK2 signaling in breast carcinoma (9), colorectal carcinoma (10), and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (8).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.

MEKK2 Antibody

Western Blotting Image 1: MEKK2 Antibody Expand Image
Western blot analysis of extracts from control SK-OV-3 cells (lane 1) or MEKK2 knockout SK-OV-3 cells (lane 2) using MEKK2 Antibody #19607 (upper) and GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb #5174 (lower). The absence of signal in the MEKK2 knockout SK-OV-3 cells confirms the specificity of the antibody for MEKK2.

Western blot analysis of extracts from various cell lines using MEKK2 Antibody.
Western Blotting Image 3: MEKK2 Antibody Expand Image
Western blot analysis of extracts from 293T cells, mock transfected (-) or transfected with a construct expressing Myc/DDK-tagged full-length human MEKK2 protein (hMEKK2-Myc/DDK; +), using MEKK2 Antibody.
Immunoprecipitation Image 1: MEKK2 Antibody Expand Image
Immunoprecipitation of MEKK2 from HeLa cell extracts. Lane 1 is 10% input, lane 2 is immunoprecipitation with Normal Rabbit IgG #2729, and lane 3 is immunoprecipitation with MEKK2 Antibody. Western blot analysis was performed using MEKK2 Antibody.
